The Seafarers' Advice & Information Line (formerly known as Seafarers Benefits Advice Line) is a UK based advice service operated by the Greenwich Citizens Advice Bureaux Ltd (GCAB) on behalf of Seamen's Hospital Society. We provide free, independent, impartial and confidential advice by telephone, email, post or fax.

Our service is available to merchant seafarers, fishermen and their families and dependants.

Our Advice Line operates Monday to Friday from 10.00am to 4.00pm.

Outside of these hours or if we are already advising someone else, you will hear a recorded message inviting you to leave your contact details. All messages are returned.
