Reaching out to all crew members, our Chaplains offer a friendly presence, unconditionally greeting seafarers where they meet them.

This is usually on a Chaplain’s regular visit to ships on the berth to dispense phone cards, newsprint from home and local knowledge, or when transporting crew to a nearby Centre where facilities such as telephone and internet access and recreation are available and they may relax in some comfort.

Our network of Chaplains talk to the crew, show interest in their families, are available for counselling and spiritual support and are able to lead worship on board the ship whenever an individual or a group of seafarers wish to pray.

Every time our Chaplains go to a ship they are prepared to meet any number of different situations once they get to the crew mess room. They often go that ‘extra mile’ to help if needed.
