Despite a waterlogged seafarers’ center, the Seamen’s Church Institute continues steadfast in its mission to help seafarers. Among those affected by the recent storm, the Seamen’s Church Institute’s (SCI) International Seafarers’ Center in Port Newark sustained significant damage. For days following the storm, the port remained closed leaving SCI without access to the heart of its operations within the port. In the interim, the Institute established a telephone hotline for seafarers affected by the storm and in need of assistance.
