Houston International Seafarers Centers, Inc.

Houston International Seafarers Centers, Inc. Our mission is supported through partnerships with the maritime industry, Port Houston and the local community.

The Houston International Seafarers Center provides a “home away from home” for seafarers visiting the Port of Houston by meeting their spiritual, social and physical needs through support, assistance and fellowship. These collaborative outreach efforts improve the welfare of seafarers and strengthen their crews, effectively benefiting the companies in which they operate and the consumers who utilize the goods they transport all over the world.

This Labor Day, we celebrate the hard work of people in America — and everywhere — who keep our communities and our economy moving.

We’re especially grateful for the seafarers who work long hours and spend months away from home, delivering the goods that keep our world connected. Thank you for all that you do! ⚓❤️

In observance of the holiday, our offices will be closed on Monday, September 7th.

Ships are big. The people who make them move may look small standing beside them, but their impact is anything but. Seafarers help move the world. We’re grateful for the opportunity to visit them while in port, make connections, and share a moment that may be brief, but can have a lasting impact. 🌎🚢

🧻 August 26th - National Toilet Paper Day in the U.S! 🧻

Each year, roughly 500 million pounds of toilet paper makes its way by sea to the U.S.—just one example of the everyday goods that travel around the world to reach us. 🚢 From toilet paper to food, clothing and countless other essentials, seafarers help keep the world’s goods moving and our everyday lives supplied. ⚓🌎

A few nice shots (or, as we like to call them, “hero shots” 😉) shared by the North American Maritime Ministry Association with partner agencies like us. Beautiful images that capture the people behind the global maritime industry — the seafarers who keep the world’s goods moving. ⚓🌎📸

Rain, sunshine or snow, the work may pause, but it never stops. 🌧 ☀ ❄ Countless workers keep the global supply chain moving. At the Port of Houston, on docks around the world, and out on the water, seafarers do their part—working in all kinds of weather to keep goods moving and the world connected. ⚓And we’re proud to be here to support their efforts.

. . . a great place to live, work and provide services to seafarers who come through our port.
