Maritime charity Stella Maris has launched of a new version of its Port Chaplain Directory, a tool which helps seafarers get access to pastoral, practical and spiritual support wherever they are in the world.
The Stella Maris Port Chaplain Directory 2023 lists telephone numbers and email addresses of the charity’s 257 chaplains in 353 ports across 57 countries worldwide. It also highlights the ports in which Stella Maris Seafarers’ Centres are located. These centres provide a welcoming space where seafarers and fishers can go to relax, pray, contact family, socialise, and speak to a chaplain away from the environment of their ships.
Stella Maris can also provide:
- Transport to a seafarers’ centre or town
- Phone cards or mobile Wi-Fi onboard ship n Visit seafarers and fishers onboard their ship
- Support and advice or just a listening ear
- Visits to seafarers and fishers in hospital and provide support prior to repatriation
- Bibles, Scripture booklets and rosary beads
Providing up to date and accurate details enables our network of chaplains to provide holistic care for seafarers and fishers in port after port worldwide. Our Port Chaplain Directory is a valuable resource both for crews and stakeholders in the maritime industry such as P&I clubs, shipping agents and port officials.
… said Stella Maris CEO, Tim Hill
The Directory was sponsored by Tindall Riley, Managers of the Britannia Group. Copies of the Directory have been sent out to Stella Maris chaplains globally for distribution to seafarers and fishers and ships.
We are delighted to once again sponsor The Stella Maris Port Chaplain Directory 2023 and support the important work the charity does in providing care for seafarers in ports across the world
