Supporting Seafarers, Strengthening Singapore

For nearly 100 years, The Mission to Seafarers Singapore has been a constant presence in one of the world’s busiest ports, offering care, compassion, and practical support to seafarers far from home.


Join Our Centenary Appeal

The centenary marks a pivotal opportunity to secure the future of this vital work. Your donation, of any amount you feel able to give, will help us sustain day-to-day operations and develop Singapore as a Key Welfare Hub for seafarers.

Why your support matters

Our role is more important than ever. Over 140,000 vessels pass through Singapore each year, bringing millions of seafarers within reach of support. Yet only a fraction – around 20,000 – currently benefit from our services.

It costs S$950,000 each year to sustain our services in Singapore, including ship visiting, anchorage outreach, transportation services, and centre operations. With your help, we can continue to be there for those who keep global trade moving – ensuring seafarers are welcomed, valued, and cared for far from home.
