The Mission to Seafarers has grown to become one of the largest port-based maritime welfare operators in the world, with a presence in almost 200 ports.  The Mission provides a service 365 days a year, across 50 countries where 118 of these ports have a local station, a Flying Angel Centre. 

The Missions vision for the worlds 1.5 seafarers of all ranks, nationalities and beliefs is to:

• operate a network of services where seafarers are valued and cared for in the ports where the need is greatest, thus improving and safeguarding their wellbeing;
• be in the right ports with the right resources offering support which is relevant, compassionate and life-enhancing; and
• meet the needs of all seafarers and their families, irrespective of faith or cultural background.

With over 70 front-line staff and an army of volunteers, the Mission provides a holistic, proactive professional and engaged response to the needs of seafarers and their families.
