Welcome to Marine Reach Australia

Since 1990, YWAM's Marine Reach ships have operated in 16 different nations and hundreds of ports throughout the Pacific establishing a long-standing reputation of excellence, integrity and results.

Presently working out of the Pacific Island nation of New Zealand, our vessel, the M/V Pacific Link, with its onboard dental and ophthalmic clinic, is involved in medical ministry and evangelism. In February 2010 the M/V Pacific Link will sail into Newcastle to begin a 16 port Ship Tour of Australia, sailing down to Adelaide and then arriving into Townsville June/July 2010 before embarking on the medical mission's part of the tour.

The tour is broken into two sections.
1. The first section of the Ship Tour of Australia will be to highlight the nation of Papua New Guinea and its needs, as well as the volunteering and training opportunities available for health professionals, businesses, churches, service clubs, schools etc. within both Australia and PNG.
2. The second section of the Ship Tour will be a Medical Mission to PNG after leaving Townsville/Cairns/Torres Strait Islands in July/August 2010.
