Garrets International two within the sector . By joining forces , the company was catapulted even further ahead into that number one position .
“ In essence , though , we are a maritime service provider looking at new ways to make life at sea better ,” he goes on . “ That is our DNA . We have done it for more than 30 years , and for us improving life at sea means establishing easy access to high quality vendors , fair prices , and doing business with an ease of mind .
“ We always try to think outside the box and do differently . Being at sea is inextricably bound with an array of concerns surrounding health and responsibility , so we try to ensure that every crew has access to healthy , tasty , and nutritious meals . We do that by training and educating chefs ; we turn cooks into heroes ! And when we do that , we know we are succeeding .”
Robust supply chain
As one of the industry ’ s leading maritime service providers , Garrets International ’ s core service can be simplified to managing a vessel ’ s provisions and / or stores budget over a given time frame . Indeed , the owner or manager of a vessel or multiple within a fleet will have a certain , allocated budget for each crewmember per day – for food , non-food items , consumables , and so on .
That ’ s where Garrets International excels . It comes in and lifts the burden , strategically using its size and experience to solve problems and make that budget stretch as far as possible to make life at sea better . On top of that , the company provides additional services , including training for crewmembers , especially within the kitchen team ; plus , digital services for vessels , covering data on expenditure and budget performance .
For Neil , one of the company ’ s key differentiators is its vast , global reach . “ We cover more than 1000 ports regularly , and we bring many years of experience to the maritime industry , particularly in terms of balancing and addressing the nutritional needs of the crew ,” he says . “ But we don ’ t stop there . We are also experts when it comes to working with budgets and bringing on board safe and high-quality provisions for the crew ; that is something we are respected for in the marketplace – and one of the key reasons why people want to join us .” As a member of the Wrist Group , moreover , Garrets International has direct access to the world ’ s leading ship and offshore supplier ’ s colossal buying power , and therefore access to its robust supply chain . “ That aspect of our company makeup is incredibly helpful ,” admits Neil . “ We make sure our vendors , including those we rely on to deliver food to our vessels , are all independently audited . As a result , when people come to us , they are confident that they are buying into a proven and safe experience when it comes to supply chain .”
