ONE OF THE BEST SEAFARERS’ CENTERS IN THE WORLD
-
Take a break from the ship and from the sea.
The Port Arthur Seafarers’ Center was the recipient of 2014 North American Lloyd’s List Awards for Seafarer Advocacy, It was one of the top six Seafarers’ Center in the world in the 2016 ISWAN International Seafarers’ Welfare Awards and our Seafarers’ Center is the recipient of the Diocese of Beaumont Stewardship Award.
The PAISC has a fleet of vehicles to pick seafarers up from local docks and drive them to the center so they can use its many resources. Transportation also is provided to stores or area restaurants, providing many opportunities during shore leave.

“A Home Very Far Away From Home”
After our 6-12 shift, with my mates we went home to “A Home Very Far Away From Home” we were greeted with warm smiles of the volunteers there and a hot coffee!! Wow! It’s been awhile since I’ve left home (Bacolod City, Negroc Occidental) but I felt as if am really home especially for this yuletide season. Unexpectedly we went back to our ship carrying bags of Christmas gifts for all of the crew! WOW! The accommodation and generosity of those people we won’t forget!! They even told us to empty the tables from all the foods they’ve prepared. Lastly we weren’t allowed to go back to our ship by just walking but by their service van and ask not even a penny from us. Bravo!! And thanks very much Port Arthur International Seafarer’s Center and to those kind hearted gorgeous ladies! Merry Christmas from the Officers and Crew of MT Sea Helios!!!Eric G.R.
