APOSTLESHIP OF THE SEA

At the beginning of the new year, 2010, the AOS team of Port Talbot and Swansea would like to thank all those who have generously supported us during last year 2009.

It has been a difficult year to 18 months for many crews through out ,due to the current recession, many have lost their jobs and 1000's of ships have been mothballed leading to uncertainty in the industry.

AOS Port Talbot & Swansea continue to strive to help as many crews of all nationalities, colours and creeds that they can, with limited resources.

Once again thank you whole heartedly for your kindness and compassion towards the seafarers working in and out of Port Talbot and Swansea.
