Tauranga
The Port of Tauranga is the busiest port in New Zealand, with almost 1500 ships visiting each year. On average AoS Tauranga welcomes over 1100 Seafarer visitors each month at our Mission.
AoS Tauranga is run by active volunteers.
In conjunction with Apostleship of the Sea, the Tauranga Seafarers Centre is managed ecumenically with the Mission to Seafarers, Galilee Mission and Tauranga Central Baptist Church.
