Provision Supply Management

The best supplies for your crew – our services go the extra mile

Over the past few years, ever-greater cost awareness has developed in the sector. In addition, with the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC), the supply of sufficient and healthy provisions has taken a prominent position. Your crew must be assured a varied and balanced diet.
It is exactly here that we want to get involved, supporting you with our Provision Supply Management. With our customer-oriented solutions, we ensure optimal, healthy provisioning and transparent provision budget planning and control.
