Mission to Seafarers

Mission to Seafarers, located within Port facilities, provide a safe place for crews from foreign ships to rest, relax and find friendship and counsel in times of need. Crews can keep in touch with their loved ones through internet services and are able to purchase SIM cards for mobile phones.

There is always a friendly volunteer at Mission to Seafarers, assisting crews with enquires and requests. Transport is available for crew members, with volunteers driving a small bus. Please refer to the Shuttle Bus Service information below.

Mission to Seafarers is vital to Port operations, as Port of Portland is committed to the well-being and safety of visiting crew members.

Mission to Seafarers stocks a range of saleable items, including souvenirs, food, drinks and toiletries.
