Welcome to the
Apostleship of the Sea

The sea is vital to us all. 90% of world trade is carried by sea giving work to more than a million seafarers. 41 million people live from fishing.

Life at sea means separation from family and community. Globalisation can mean fierce competition, low wages and harsh working conditions. AOS works in solidarity with all those whose lives depend on the sea offerring them welfare, hospitality and spiritual support.
