Stella Maris provides pastoral care to all seafarers and maintains the Centre as a support base. Ship visitors make primary contact with ships’ crews and spend time assisting them in various tasks. Chaplaincy services are coordinated through Stella Maris and offered to seafarers upon request. Stella Maris buses travel to and from the docks constantly and provide a much needed transport service for seafarers. At the Centre, seafarers can communicate with family and loved ones, relax away from their work and living environment, and equip themselves with basic necessities. They are greeted with friendly faces – our staff and volunteers – who provide every possible assistance; naturally, many interesting conversations take place.
