Provisions, Catering & Bonded
Provisions and fresh food suppliers deliver the food a vessel's galley needs for the voyage ahead — fresh meat, fish, dairy, and produce, frozen goods, dry and tinned stores, and bakery items — assembled and delivered to the ship in time for a scheduled port call.
Orders are built from a chief cook's or catering officer's provision list and typically combine fresh perishables sourced close to sailing with longer-life dry and frozen stock carried for the passage, distinct from bonded goods such as spirits and tobacco and from bottled beverages, which buyers order separately. Because provisions are perishable and tied to a fixed sailing time, buyers value suppliers who can confirm stock, quality-check produce, and guarantee delivery to the berth before the vessel departs, comparing quotes on freshness, range, and reliability of on-time delivery. It sits within the Provisions, Catering & Bonded category group on PortProcure.
PortProcure lists 89 verified Provisions & Fresh Food Supply suppliers across 24 ports, including Abidjan, Al Aqabah, and Alexandria. Send an RFQ to compare quotes from listed suppliers.

FAQ
Meat, fish, and dairy deliveries should come with the supplier's health or quality certification and evidence of proper cold-chain handling up to the point of loading, since these are perishable foodstuffs subject to food-safety rules rather than a technical spec. Buyers typically check this documentation on receipt alongside a physical quality inspection before signing for the delivery.
Fresh perishables are ordered as late as possible to maximise shelf life for the voyage, so final quantities are often confirmed only once the vessel's sailing time is fixed. A late schedule change can shrink or extend the window for adjustments, which is why buyers value suppliers able to accommodate last-minute quantity changes without missing the vessel's departure.
Provisions cover the food itself — fresh, frozen, and dry stock for the galley — while duty-free goods such as spirits and tobacco are sourced as bonded stores under customs seal, and packaged drinking water or soft drinks are ordered as beverages. Buyers often place all three with the same supplier but as separate lines, since each carries different handling and paperwork.
