TasPorts has recently finalised and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Mission to Seafarer centres in Bell Bay and Burnie.
The MOU formalises TasPorts' working relationship with the Bell Bay Seafarers Mission and The Mission to Seafarers, Burnie and further strengthens operational support for the charity, recognising our mutual interest and shared commitment to provide seafarer welfare services in port areas through the shore-based seafarer welfare facility.
Additionally, this MOU establishes the support framework to assist, encourage and promote the delivery and improvement of seafarer welfare services by the Missions in conjunction with TasPorts. TasPorts supports the Mission's goals through financial and in-kind support, as well as promotion of their services to all visiting vessels.
As operators of eleven ports across Tasmania, TasPorts plays an important role in supporting the seafarers who visit our multi-port system.
