Marine kitchen baskets are a vital component of galley organisation and safety — without proper fixation of food and dishes during ship movement, both material losses and the risk of injury to staff from falling objects can occur.
Types of marine baskets and holders
Professional marine kitchen baskets are available in various types to meet storage needs. Dish and pan baskets — stainless steel baskets with raised edges or fixation rods for stacking dishes; prevent dish collapse during rough seas. GN container storage racks — rack-type holders for the vertical storage of GN 1/1 or GN 1/2 containers; save horizontal space and ensure easy access to each container. Wall-mounted baskets — wall-fastened baskets for storing kitchen inventory (whisks, spatulas, ladles) above the work surface. Pull-out baskets under the worktop — a pull-out storage solution under the work surface or stove; better access to small inventory. Food storage baskets with lids — sealed baskets for storing food products with a closed lid to prevent accidental spillage. Also explore Pot Holders for Ships.
Marine technical parameters
The technical parameters of marine baskets and holders must meet maritime conditions. AISI 316 stainless steel — the mandatory material for marine baskets to resist corrosion in salt air; applies to both wires and frame and fastening materials. Wire thickness — 4–6 mm wire thickness for marine baskets, ensuring sufficient rigidity under mechanical stress. Locking mechanism — securing latches or hinged lids to prevent basket contents from spilling during rough seas. Mounting options — screw or snap-on fastenings to walls, shelves or worktop bodies. Edge height — marine baskets feature raised edge profiles (minimum 5 cm) for secure content retention. Also explore Neutral Work Surfaces.
Optimising galley storage
A proper storage system is critically important in a galley, where every square metre is valuable. Vertical storage — marine baskets and racks allow optimal use of vertical space on walls, avoiding collisions with ship compartment walls. Inventory accessibility — baskets provide quick access to necessary inventory during cooking or preparation without searching through shelves. Maintaining order — each item has its place in a basket or holder, reducing clutter in the compact galley space. Vibration protection — marine baskets with locking systems prevent items from accumulating on the floor or work surfaces during rough seas. Also explore Electric Pans for Ships.
HoReCa usage scenarios
Cargo ship with a compact galley — marine baskets as a standard storage solution for organising pots, pans, GN containers and kitchen inventory in the compact galley space. Passenger ferry with a large galley block — GN container racks and dish baskets for quick and organised access to numerous dining dishes. Yacht with well-organised galley — wall-mounted baskets above the worktop in the yacht galley for efficient inventory storage.
Frequently asked questions
Which baskets are mandatory in a galley? At minimum, dish and pan fixation baskets near work surfaces to prevent free movement of objects. Contact BHS. Explore Pot Holders for Ships.
Are AISI 316 baskets significantly better than standard AISI 304? In maritime conditions — yes; AISI 316 with molybdenum additive is significantly more resistant to chloride corrosion.
