Taiwan: millions for Hope

On September 16, the crew and staff of Logos Hope welcomed her four millionth visitor aboard.

This significant milestone came just weeks before the ship will begin a six-month period of upgrades to ensure the 12,519 tonne, ocean-going vessel is ready to welcome millions more in the years to come.

Emma Lan, age 38, a Kaoshiung resident and local restaurant owner was welcomed on board by director Lloyd Nicholas, Captain Chris Hughes and crew members in international dress. ‘I feel very honoured to be the four millionth visitor’, said Emma, who visited the ship with her family.

Taiwan is the 47th country visited by Logos Hope since her launch into active service for OM ships five and a half years ago. While the upgrades take place, over 250 of the crew and staff will be sent out to around 70 different teams to work alongside other OM ministries and partner organisations all over the globe, continuing to transform lives by bringing knowledge, help and hope.
