Doulos is the world’s oldest ocean-going passenger ship, now 95, having been built in 1914, just two years after Titanic.  The amount of steel replacement and other repairs needed for her to continue sailing are overwhelming.
CEO of OM Ships, Peter Nicoll, said, “Doulos will not be able to continue in ministry. This is not what we wanted, and has serious consequences for all on board, those about to join and for ports we planned to visit. We are committed to operating safe ships and prayed that God would use this five-year ‘special survey’ to give us a clear picture of the way forward, and that He has done.
“The well-being of the 280 crew is of paramount importance. Each will receive the guidance and support they need.  We recognise God’s faithfulness through 32 years of service, more than 600 ports in over 100 countries. Lives have been transformed, both visitors and those serving on board.”
With Logos Hope active and exciting ministry taking place, we have begun working on the Doulos replacement project.
