TESTIMONIALS from seafarers about our work
Seaman’s mission feedback.
Following our visit in your port St. Petersburg, we had a good experience as we received help and guidance from the representative of the local of Seaman’s Mission.
As we needed supplies (special batteries for server UPS) we cannot wait until received from ship supply the local agent of Seaman’s mission was kind to take us to a electronic shop so we were able to pick this item up.
Also, there is the option of buying groceries from local shops when ships when run out of vegetables or other items it is an often that this happens.
These are just few examples of how the Seaman’s mission can help us in such situations, therefore the continuation of Seaman’s mission service will be of great help to us seafarers.
Please consider also that this service is normal in ports around the world.
