Ships don’t move goods.
Seafarers do.
The Mission to Seafarers Dampier serves the men and women who keep global trade moving.

About the Mission to Seafarers
In Dampier, we have been caring for seafarers since 1976, visiting ships at berth, offering transport ashore, providing a welcoming space and being a point of connection between international crews and the local Karratha-Dampier port community.
The Mission to Seafarers is one of the world’s largest port welfare organisations, serving seafarers in more than 200 ports across 50 countries. We are a Christian charity – at the heart of everything we do is the good news of Jesus Christ, offered freely to all who pass through our port.
“Come to me all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”
Matthew 11:28-30
