Crew Welfare

MLC 2016 

We focus on the MLC 2006 regulation (Maritime Labour Convention and 2016 amendments) to guide and support our global customers manage their crews’ health, well-being and safety through: 

• Supply of high-quality food provisions, stores, medical supplies and bonded items through an assured supplier network 
• Training in food and catering galley operations including nutrition and food safety
• Monitoring consumption of food based on nutritional analysis and quantity per vessel per day

NUTRITION AND HEALTH

Balanced nutrition is crucial for physical and mental health as well as work performance. Your crew’s health and well-being depends on a well-managed galley, sourcing and production of tasty, nutritious food, especially when they are at sea for months, away from loved ones. 

To support you with knowledge and skills on how to create healthy, tasty and varied meals that also take your crew’s dietary needs and cultural preferences into consideration, we have partnered up with Manila Medical Center, to offer you: 

• 1:1 consultation with a qualified dietician
• Guidance on nutrition and diets based on nationality and budget via on-call basis services including articles and seminars
