Story
The Navigator Gas family are coming together to raise money, so that we can give to a cause which is close to our hearts.
Collectively, there are over 1.5 million seafarers across the world made up of various nationalities. These men and women often spend up to 9 months at a time far away from their family, friends and loved ones. This can often lead to loneliness and mental health issues, with limited access to external communications.
There are seafarers out there who need help and support. Day and night for 365 days per year, the Mission is on call providing help for seafarers in over 200 ports around the world. Therefore the funds that we raise will go a long way.
About The Mission to Seafarers
The Mission to Seafarers is here to support the men and women working at sea when they need us most.
To compensate for the lack of facilities available to many Seafarers, all of our Seafarers Centres, spread across 50 countries, aim to provide Seafarers with:
Access to WiFi Internet and SIM cards
A comfortable place to rest and relax
The chance to get food and toiletries
Transport to shops and local amenities
And it’s not just practical support the Mission offers. We know that seafarers need emotional and frequently spiritual support too.
That’s why we have a large network of ordained Port Chaplains who come on board ships, giving seafarers a listening ear and offering prayer, if needed. They can also connect seafarers to other organisations, or speak to them on their behalf.
Our mission is to care for the shipping industry’s most important asset: its people.
We are here for Seafarers.
