The boat that brings hope!

The Logos Hope ship, a floating bookfair and ministry hub, is visiting six UK ports.

Belonging to mission organisation Operation Mobilisation (OM), the Logos Hope was launched in 2009 and has had nearly 11 million visitors to date. OM’s largest ship is visiting some of the UK’s biggest ports – London, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Cardiff, Belfast, and Liverpool – and is due to conclude its “Waves of Hope” tour in November 2026.

“Wherever she docks in the world, the ship demonstrates a multicultural community serving Jesus together, with a volunteer crew drawn from over 100 nations,” OM said. In every port, the international crew goes ashore to serve alongside churches and organisations. Churches and individuals are also able to visit the ship and meet the crew, browse the on-board bookfair and attend nights of worship and prayer.
