Galley Equipment for Ships

A ship’s galley operates in conditions that differ from any land-based kitchen – rocking, constant humidity, salty air and limited space require special, durable equipment. Food on board must be prepared to a high quality and safely regardless of weather conditions, which means that the equipment must be structurally adapted for maritime use.

Maritime equipment requirements

Galley equipment for ships must meet specific technical requirements that are not imposed on land-based equipment. Moisture resistance – equipment must be able to function in a constantly high-humidity environment caused by the sea and condensation. Anti-vibration construction – due to wave oscillations, equipment, pots and utensils must be secured with special Pot Holders for Ships and fastenings to prevent movement during cooking. Stainless steel bodies – salty sea air increases the risk of corrosion, so ship equipment uses high-quality stainless steel alloys. Electrical safety – electrical connections must comply with ship standards and be protected against moisture.

Safety and hygiene on board

Food safety on board is particularly important – ship crews often cannot reach a hospital immediately, so adherence to HACCP principles is critical. As in any professional kitchen, HACCP requires compliance with hot and cold storage chains, regular equipment disinfection and maintaining the correct food preparation temperatures. Galley equipment from BHS is equipped with thermostat control and overheating protection, which is especially important during intense rocking.

HoReCa usage scenarios

In cargo and fishing vessel galleys, the crew must be provided with full meals for dozens of people daily – such facilities require spacious hob surfaces, ovens and large-capacity refrigerators. For passenger ferries and cruise ships, the galley operates in restaurant mode – a wide range of equipment, professional appliances and high service quality. Compactness is key for yacht galleys – equipment must fit into limited space while providing a full range of functionality.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between standard kitchen equipment and Marine series? Marine series equipment is structurally adapted for maritime use: reinforced moisture resistance, stronger bodies and mounting options. The electrical system is adapted to ship voltage and safety requirements. Standard HoReCa equipment may not withstand the intensive use of a ship in maritime conditions.

Does BHS offer consultations for galley planning? Yes, BHS consultants help plan galley equipment based on the type of vessel, crew size and reception capacity. Send the galley dimensions and requirements – we will compile an optimal equipment list.
