We tailor our activity to where it is needed the most. Our teams prioritise their care on where the need is greatest.

Apostleship of the Sea deploys its chaplains in Britain’s largest ports, each receiving tens of thousands of seafarers each year. Tilbury, Southampton, Felixstowe and Aberdeen are among the busiest. The majority of smaller British ports are also covered using our large network of volunteer ship visitors who work in port teams with their local port chaplain.

Each day that our chaplains and ship visitors climb a gangway they can meet any number of different situations.
