1994-2006

23 FEBRUARY 2006 | MOBILE, ALABAMA

As the newest Mercy Ship, the Africa Mercy, enters active service, Mercy Ships prepares to say goodbye to one of it´s veteran ships - the Caribbean Mercy.  

The Caribbean Mercy finished its winter duty as it served as a base of operations for hurricane relief efforts on the Gulf Coast. The ship visited 138 ports primarily throughout the Caribbean and Central American region, serving as an eye hospital and offering dental, orthopaedic and health care services off ship.

In her 12-year history as a Mercy Ship, the Caribbean Mercy contributed around 20% of Mercy Ships total output in terms of number of services, value and beneficiaries.
