The Mission to Seafarers Scotland work throughout Scotland caring for seafarers of all ranks, nationalities and beliefs. In Scotland there are over 90 ports and although the Mission to Seafarers’ do not have a permanent presence at every port we can be contacted by phone, email or Facebook any time day or night.
We deliver our service through one full-time Chaplain and a band of ship visiting volunteers who are all accredited by the Merchant Navy Welfare Board (MNWB). Through our network of Chaplain and Volunteers we offer practical, emotional and spiritual support to seafarers through ship-visits and at our seafarers’ centre in Grangemouth. In addition we are supported by many of our volunteers throughout the country who knit woolly hats, deliver talks and Sea Sunday addresses.
