How Belma Catering Guarantees Its Quality
Based on its in depth market knowledge combined with our purchasing power, Belma Catering is able to guarantee high quality products at the best possible price on the market. To do so, we rely on our own extended network of worldwide suppliers or work closely together with your preferred contacts. Always within the agreed budget, and taking into account the cultural composition, the personal preferences and the whereabouts of your crew.
Always bear in mind that our collaboration is based on a fixed rate per man / day. This allows you as a ship owner to budget long time ahead of your expenses.
As a ship owner, you only receive one invoice per month and per ship. As this is done on a pre-budgeted basis following the agreed feeding rate per man / day, there are no surprises, the cost is known in advance.
Our expertise is key in a world where merchant vessels, tankers, and cargo ships grow larger and crews are constantly reduced.
On Shore Or On Board Coaching
A good atmosphere on a vessel is key to success. An essential part of this is the satisfaction of the crew with their culinary treatment. However, having top level products at the disposal of the cook is not sufficient. What really counts, is what the cook is able to create with the ingredients!
Therefore, Belma Catering is glad to propose on shore courses for your staff. These encompass both the basics of successful cooking for your crew, as well as more advanced sessions.
We are equally glad to help your cook develop his bakery skills. Being also an important lever, Kitchen Management is one of the focal points of attention in our courses.
Should the situation require the presence of one of our trainers / coaches aboard your vessel, than this is an option we will be glad to work out based on your specific needs.
