This is Kevin, who we met recently. He is a Filipino seafarer who had to stop work after an accident onboard. After an operation and several years ashore he is back onboard. His is a story of recovery and prayerful patience. It was great to meet him.

The joint MtS/Stella Maris team in Goole hosted a barbecue for seafarers on Monday evening. It was an excellent occasion with crew from four ships coming along. Thanks to St John’s, Goole for making it possible. The Mission to Seafarers

Yesterday we celebrated the International Day of the Seafarer with Churches Together in East Hull. It was great to have four Filipino crew members from the Scot Pioneer join us for the service - here they are pictured with the Brethren of Hull Trinity House! The Mission to Seafarers

There was a fire in the hold of the Altay, moored in Albert Dock in Hull on Friday. Working with our Stella Maris colleagues we were able to respond swiftly with welfare support for the crew, providing transport, shore facilities, food and internet connections.The Mission to Seafarers

We joined Spittal Parish Church in Tweedmouth for their Sea Sunday celebrations. It was a great community event and we loved taking part. @FlyinAngelNews

We had a great day at Hornsea Blue Light Festival. Rocks, wristbands, bubbles and hanging onto the gazebo in high winds. Special thanks to Nick and Michael,

We had some great ship visits in Goole recently. Here is Alex from the Goole team onboard with two of the seafarers we met.

MtS Humber was featured in the recent MNWB report…well at least in four wheel format. That’s our new car in the article photo. It has already done over 10,000 miles in the service of seafarers.

We met a chief officer recently who was so positive about his life and work, that we had to ask him to say it again. So here he is.

I met Clive Naidoo, the Cape Town Chaplain, at the ICMA conference in Barcelona. Cape Town is the Humber link port. Until now I have only spoken to Clive by video call. It has been great to meet him in person.

We took three seafarers to the centre. Two Indian, one Bangladeshi. One spoke Tamil, one Hindi and one Bangla. One was Roman Catholic, one was Muslim and one Hindu. They get along just fine!

It was the annual MtS Humber Quiz Night at St Mary’s Barton on Saturday. Here are a couple of pics. The second shows the glorious winning Goole team. They lost on the tie break last year, so the victory was that much sweeter this year.

We had some unexpected but very welcome visitors to the Hull Seafarer centre. They are very easy company.

We visited the Elise in Hull. It is a brand new heavy lift ship moving wind farm parts. Introducing Lisa, our most recent trainee ship visitor.

The first packing of Christmas gifts for seafarers here at MtS Humber. It’s packing-ready to go-then onboard. Thanks to volunteers from Drax power and Boluda. Drax Boluda Towage

On Sunday we said ‘thanks and goodbye’ to Chris, who was the Stella Maris member of the Goole ship visiting team. He and his wife are moving away and we wish them all the best.

We are back at the Beverley Minster Christmas Tree Festival. It is open this weekend also-so all welcome. With thanks to June and Allison for setting it up.
