The Port Hedland Peace Memorial Seafarers Centre is one of over 300 centres worldwide and 28 within Australia, providing pastoral care, services and support for seafaring people.
We are part of the Mission to Seafarers (MTS) which is an international mission agency of the Anglican Church. The primary role for us as a Seafarers Mission is to care for the pastoral, practical and spiritual welfare of seafarers of all nationalities and faiths. We also welcome tourists and the local community of Port Hedland into our centre. We provide numerous services, including:

Port Hedland is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Our major export commodity is iron ore, followed by Spodumene (Lithium), Copper concentrate, salt and manganese.
Port Hedland is the world's largest bulk minerals export port, and Australia's largest port based on total annual tonnes throughput. Port Hedland was the first Port in Australia to exceed 100 Million Tonnes throughput in a year (2004/05), and in the 2020/21 financial year had a record throughput of over 724 million tonnes. Some ships loaded with iron ore in Port Hedland have the capacity to carry up to 270,000 tonnes each, the current largest single cargo record being the HL Tubarao with 270,006 tonnes sailing in March 2017.
We look forward to seeing you at the centre. Don't forget to check back here regularly and like us on Facebook for up to date information about everything happening at the Port Hedland Seafarers Centre.

A Typical Day at Port Hedland Seafarers Centre
Above is a short video documenting an average day at the Port Hedland Seafarers Centre. These events play out for 12 hours, every single day of the year. This is just a peep into what is Australia's busiest Seafarers Mission. We cater for over 3000 seafarers coming through our centre every month. What a great blessing it is to serve the Lord in this way.
