To all Mission To Seafarers Centres across Australia for keeping up the faith, for holding on to their respective forts to serve the Seafarers in these troubled times.. #ShoutOut#AustraliaLovesSeafarers# to our very own Onsite and Offsite Volunteers, Pilbara Ports Authority, AMSA, MSWA & AMG Marine Pilots, HMS, Rio Tinto Marine Operations, Border Force, Shipping Agents and to the rest who are serving the Seafarers, low key...words are not enough to thank these beloved people of supporting the Shop to Ship Project of DSC and make it a successful one!

16.01.2022 Over 8 months and counting. Around the country, our centres have consistently provided care packs and support services to crews locked on board their vessels th...roughout the pandemic. We spoke to a captain yesterday who said he's visited most of Australia's ports since starting his contract in September 2019. He was grateful for the loving care and support our centres have shown him and his crew. Thank you to every one who has continued to donate to these men and women who keep Australia running. #australialovesseafarers

14.01.2022 Calling all vessels and anything else with a horn! Tomorrow is International Workers Day and around the world, ships will be sounding their horns at midday loca...l time.

13.01.2022 "Without these seafarers, and they are small by number, but without them Australia's economy will collapse imminently," said Dean Summers, the national coordinator for the International Transport Workers Federation in Australia... (unquote) "...they need help, and we have helped, and we are here to help. And we are helping, and we are going to continue to help..." - Dampier Seafarers Centre Team -

03.01.2022 ..days, weeks and months have passed by since the closure of the Missions to Seafarers Centre all over the world, still the Seafarers never stopped moving and rolling out their sleeves as Key Workers for these difficult times, Thank you for all your Efforts! Kudos!! to the HMS Marine Surveyors with their untiring support and enthusiasm to upkeep and lift up the spirits of the Seafarers by delivering their needs any time of the day.. "Life's toughest storms prove the strength of our anchors."

03.01.2022 After more than 20 months on board without leave, seafarers from the BRIO FAITH have finally been rescued and sent home by the Australian Maritime Safety Author...ity - AMSA. After inspecting the BRIO FAITH on Monday, AMSA officers ordered that the shipping company Tianjin Shun Xin Yuan Shipping Co LTD must arrange for the 9 Filipino and Chinese seafarers to be repatriated. However, the next day, the company's plans for the seafarers had 'fallen through' and instead AMSA received a request that the seafarers remain on board until the next port, Shanghai. AMSA refused this request and prohibited the ship from departing until the seafarers were allowed to return home. They are now travelling to Brisbane and from there will finally fly home to be reunited with their families. It should be every operator’s and owner’s highest priority to ensure the welfare of their seafarers, and safety of their operations is maintained. 20 months on board with no leave is completely unacceptable and will lead to increased risk of accidents. We will continue to enforce the Maritime Labour Convention, look after seafarers and ensure the safety of shipping. said Greg Witherall, AMSA Operations North Manager If you are a seafarer who would like to reach out for assistance, our worldwide network of chaplains are trained and prepared to support you pastorally and practically.
