Provisioning Vessels at Anchorage
Not every call involves a berth. Vessels wait at anchor across the UAE — off Fujairah and Khor Fakkan especially, but also at Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port — and a crew at anchor still needs feeding. Getting a chilled delivery out to a ship at anchorage is a different job from a truck to a quay: it goes by launch, on the vessel’s timing, with the cold chain held the whole way.
The east-coast situation
Waiting longer, still needing to eat well
With Strait of Hormuz disruption rerouting traffic to the east coast through 2026, vessels are waiting longer at Fujairah and Khor Fakkan anchorages — often well beyond their original schedule. That means repeat fresh deliveries for crews held offshore. We provision through extended anchorage waits, cold-chained across from our Dubai facility and sent out by launch.
