WHO WE ARE
Our Ships
Floating Hospitals. Vessels of Hope.
Over half of the world’s population lives within 160 kilometres of a coastline, meaning Mercy Ships and its crew of volunteers can sail modern hospital ships to directly reach people across the globe who don’t have access to safe, affordable medical care. Our ships are state-of-the-art vessels with vital amenities, offering clean water, electricity, and care centres on board.
For 45 years, Mercy Ships has consistently had 1-3 vessels in operation at any time. Currently, the Africa Mercy and our new, purpose-built Global Mercy are in operation. The Global Mercy is now the largest non-governmental hospital ship in the world, a title previously held by the Africa Mercy.
