Herbert Plaatjies's Company Details
GBA Ships operates Logos Hope. Serving others with ocean-going ships began in 1970 with the purchase of the original Logos. Since then the ships (Logos, Doulos, Logos II and now Logos Hope) have visited over 500 different ports in more than 150 countries and territories and welcomed over 45 million visitors on board. Our goal is to share knowledge, help and hope.The ship visits each port for several weeks each and opens the gangways to hundreds and sometimes thousands of visitors each day. On average, over one million visitors have been welcomed on board every year! The floating book fair offers over 5,000 titles, providing many visitors their first-ever opportunity to purchase a wide range of quality literature. An international crew and staff of volunteers live and work on the ships. Teams from the ship go into surrounding areas to provide aid and community care. In each port, the ship's crew partners with local community groups to share hope and show love to people whatever their circumstance, culture or background.
