All Hands To The Pump!

With the cost of fuel now much lower than a year ago, OM is launching an appeal to help fill up the Doulos and Logos Hope tanks. This source of power not only provides the means of moving from destination to destination, but is also vital in port for the generators that supply the vessels’ energy. The ships’ schedules for 2009 are dependent on there being enough funds to buy fuel. Impoverished islands in the Caribbean are awaiting Logos Hope, while needy communities in South East Asia are ready to welcome assistance from Doulos crew. Donations can be given securely online at www.uk.om.org/fuel.

Logos Hope On The Web

Everything’s going online these days! With Logos Hope now in the UK, a website has been set-up to make all the details about the visit easily accessible. Those browsing www.hopestartshere.info will first of all find a range of videos about the ship’s maiden voyage and be able to take a CGI tour of the vessel’s interior. Digging a little deeper, visitors to the site can find details of the book fair opening hours in Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff and London as well as a programme calendar of onboard events. There are also maps, contact details, technical facts about the ship and more!
