Mail & Supply Ships

The basic service provided by these ships is connecting local communities, such as the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia or along the coasts of Norway and Labrador, bringing them mail and supplies. The British Royal Mail Ship, St. Helena, makes longer trips from the U.K. to South Africa as well as to the Ascension, Canary and St. Helena Islands. And, while the Windjammer’s fleet of tall ships sail around the Caribbean Islands, the Amazing Grace shuttles between them carrying passengers as well as supplies.
