Fresh, Frozen & Dry Provisions
MELUSEA provides comprehensive vessel provisions for merchant ships, tankers, bulk carriers, container vessels, offshore units and international crews. Our global ship supply network can coordinate fresh fruits and vegetables, quality meat and poultry, seafood, dairy products, frozen foods, bakery products, beverages, drinking water, canned goods and complete dry-store requisitions. Product selection is approached with freshness, packaging condition, shelf life and practical onboard use in mind, helping purchasing teams receive a reliable mixed provision supply from one ship chandler.
Fresh food purchasing requires more than simply matching a product name. Seasonality, country of origin, pack size, cold-chain handling, vessel ETA and the latest acceptable delivery time can all affect the final supply plan. MELUSEA therefore reviews each provision requisition individually and, where practical, prioritizes fresh sourcing close to delivery time. Requests for preferred brands, halal products, vegetarian items, nationality-specific foods, special diets and crew preferences can also be investigated when clearly identified in the RFQ.
