Welcoming Rev Mee Ping LAU back to Port Hedland as Locum Chaplain for February and March. He is a wonderful blessing to the seafarers and the staff.

Making progress on a new Port Hedland Seafarers Centre!
The Minister for Ports, the Hon. David Michael, announced industry backing for a new Seafarers Centre in Port Hedland to support the 150,000 seafarers that visit the Pilbara each year. More

"Seafarers don’t go home at the end of the day. It can be quite lonely and isolating, the life is quite hard, it’s a tough job, and it’s physically demanding."
The Port Hedland Seafarers Centre is one of over 300 Mission to Seafarers centres worldwide (with 28 in Australia) providing pastoral, practical and spiritual welfare to Seafarers of all ranks, nationalities and beliefs. Port Hedland is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, operates 24/7 every day of the year, is the world's largest bulk mineral export port (iron ore, lithium, copper concentrate, salt, manganese), and around 50,000 seafarers pass through annually.
