OM Ships International began in 1970 as part of the global Christian training and outreach movement, Operation Mobilisation. Since then OM Ships has operated four different ocean-going vessels, which, in total, have visited over 450 different ports in 150 countries and territories and welcomed more than 46 million visitors on board.

The goal of OM Ships is to bring knowledge, help and hope to the people of the world. This is done through supplying vital literature resources, encouraging cross-cultural understanding, training young people for more effective life and service, providing needed relief, and sharing a message of hope in God wherever there is opportunity.

The current ship, Logos Hope, visits each port for several weeks and opens the gangways to thousands of visitors each day. On average, over one million visitors have been welcomed onboard every year! The floating book fairs offer more than 5,000 titles, providing many visitors their first-ever opportunity to purchase quality educational and Christian literature.

An international crew of around 400 volunteers from more around 60 nations live and work on the ship. Teams go into surrounding areas to supply aid and community care. In each port, the ship's crew joins local churches and organizations to bring hope and show love to people whatever their circumstance, culture or background.
