When it comes to food service, simple kitchens can be found in many places, from restaurants to schools and even casinos. But when it comes to cruise ships, the scale is entirely different. Think of a cruise ship as a massive floating hotel at sea, and some of the larger ones even resemble small cities. At any given moment, there could be thousands of passengers—along with hundreds of crew members—on board, which means the kitchen never stops running. With such a huge demand, having the right stainless steel equipment is crucial.
In this article, we’ll walk you through four essential stainless steel products that are critical for running a successful cruise ship kitchen—or "galley." We'll also introduce some IMC products that fit the bill perfectly. Let's dive in.
First and foremost, **large worktables** are non-negotiable. Kitchen staff need ample space to prepare and serve meals, and these tables have to be big enough to handle dozens of dishes at once. Worktables should also have flanged feet so they can be bolted securely to the floor, ensuring they remain stable even when the ship rocks and sways. IMC offers a range of worktable models that can go up to 36 inches wide and 144 inches long to suit any cruise ship kitchen. Their models #WT, #WTB, and #WT1 come with flat-top stainless steel surfaces (available in 14 or 16-gauge thickness) that are built to last. Take a look:
Next up are **large cabinets** for secure storage. Cruise ships typically load up on all the necessary ingredients, utensils, tableware, and more before setting sail, rarely stopping to restock along the way. This means you’ll need plenty of secure storage options to keep everything organized. Look for the right combination of base cabinets, wall cabinets, and upright storage units. IMC provides all three types. Their base cabinets can reach up to 36 inches wide and 144 inches long, while wall cabinets measure up to 15 inches wide and 96 inches tall. Storage cabinets can extend up to 23 inches wide and 96 inches tall. Cabinets can also be bolted down or anchored to the walls for added stability. Check them out here:
Moving on, **large dishtables** are essential for handling both clean and soiled items. Given the sheer volume of dishes involved, having larger dishtables makes life much easier. Soiled dishtables hold used, dirty items, while clean dishtables store freshly washed ones. Depending on your kitchen layout, dishtables can be straight, corner, or island-shaped. IMC offers several options for both clean and soiled dishtables, with straight models reaching lengths of up to 120 inches. Island and corner dishtables are 60 inches wide and can stretch up to 120 inches long. Flanged feet are a must to handle the ship's movement. Here's a quick peek:
Lastly, **large compartment sinks** are indispensable for ware washing. Pots, pans, and other cooking utensils require constant sanitization during the journey. A multi-compartment sink is the best way to achieve this efficiently. Again, size matters—large compartment sinks are key. Drainboards are almost always necessary to hold the numerous items being cleaned. Compartment sinks can vary in size, with sink bowls reaching up to 20 inches by 28 inches deep, and drainboards extending up to 36 inches. IMC’s #SCS series of compartment sinks offers flexibility, allowing for 1 to 4 sink bowls and drainboards. Here’s a visual:
