Food

Good standards of food and water at sea are becoming more widespread, as what you can expect from your ship’s cook is regulated under the Maritime Labour Convention 2006.

Not all ships adhere to the law stating they need to supply seafarers with good

standards of food and drinking water while at sea as required by the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 Regulation 3.2 of the MLC (2006), states:

If seafarers are unhappy with their food, whether it’s cultural preferences, Halal, or vegetarian needs and are unable to resolve issues with senior officers, Mission port chaplains can provide confidential support and may be able  to negotiate solutions on their behalf.
