The Marine Travel Company is proud to have the British & International Sailors Society as its adopted charity.

The Society operates in 100 ports and 30 countries through its network of Port Chaplains and Centres.

The Sailors' Society provides a personal lifeline for seafarers on board and when they step ashore. Existing to enrich and enhance the well-being of seafarers in port through its Port Chaplains and Centres, seafarers are offered practical help and welfare, spiritual support, financial assistance and family liaison. Our Port Chaplains visit thousands of ships during the year and are often the first to notice when all is not well on board.

Reaching out to crew members of all ranks, without distinction for faith, denomination, ethnic background or nationality, the Port Chaplains of the Sailors' Society offer a friendly presence, unconditionally greeting seafarers where they meet them.

When ships dock today they are invariably berthed in a highly mechanised environment, contained within a patrolled security zone, often far from normal human habitation. The opportunity to go ashore is constrained by the increasingly demanding routine of shipboard life. But to combat social isolation the crews still have a desire to get off the ship and refresh their mind and spirit.

The marine travel company is running many fundraising events to aid to charity. As well as collections for numerous “offences” in the offices, we have also been out and about getting fit.
