The Gibraltar Seafarers Welfare Board Homepage
Welcome to the Gibraltar Seafarers Welfare Board website. The principal role of the Gibraltar Seafarers Welfare Board (GSWB) is to coordinate the provision of welfare services to merchant seafarers visiting the port. It provide a forum where all those involved in seafarers' welfare can meet regularly, share information, provide mutual support and generally network. They also provide an opportunity to brief members on wider issues that may affect seafarers and their families visiting or resident around their ports. The Merchant Navy Welfare Board (MNWB), as the independent co-ordinator for maritime charities in the United Kingdom and Gibraltar, is responsible for all administrative aspects.
The current Chairman of the GSWB is Captain James Ferro MBE, a former Captain of the Port. Other members of the Committee include Gibraltar-based maritime charities, the Gibraltar Maritime Administration, Gibdock, MOD and local shipping agents.
This website provides contact information for Port Chaplains and Ship's Visitors, details of welfare facilities in Gibraltar plus useful websites containing a wealth of maritime and welfare-related information.
