When it comes to food service, you'll find simple kitchens in places like restaurants, schools, and casinos, but cruise ships operate on an entirely different scale. Think of a cruise ship as a massive floating hotel on the ocean. Some of them are so large they could rival small cities. At any given moment, these ships can carry thousands of passengers along with hundreds of staff members, which means the kitchen never stops working. With such a huge capacity, the demand for durable stainless steel equipment is immense.
In this article, we're going to walk you through four essential stainless steel products that every successful cruise ship kitchen—also known as a galley—needs. We’ll also introduce some IMC products that fit the bill perfectly. Let’s dive in.
First up, **large worktables**—this is priority number one. Among all the stainless steel items, worktables are crucial because they provide the necessary space for meal preparation and serving. These tables can't be small; they need to be big enough to handle dozens of plates at once. They must also be sturdy enough to stay in place during the ship's movements. To ensure stability, worktables should have flanged feet that can be bolted into the floor. Here’s a look at what we mean:
IMC offers a range of worktable models that can handle the demands of a cruise ship kitchen. Their worktables can reach up to 36 inches wide and 144 inches long, making them ideal for any galley. Models like **#WT**, **#WTB**, and **#WT1** come with flat-top stainless steel surfaces (available in 14 or 16 gauge thickness) that can seamlessly integrate into your setup. Take a peek:
Next, let’s talk about **large cabinets**—they’re essential for secure storage. Cruise ships stock up on all their ingredients, utensils, tableware, and more at the start of the journey. Since they rarely stop to restock at ports, you’ll need a lot of secure storage space to keep everything organized. This involves balancing base cabinets, wall cabinets, and upright storage cabinets.
IMC provides all three types. Check out models like **#BC** (base cabinets), **#OC** (wall cabinets), and **#SC** (storage cabinets). IMC base cabinets can go up to 36 inches wide and 144 inches long, while wall cabinets can reach 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 to the floor or secured to the walls. Have a look:
Then there are **large dishtables**—these are vital for holding both clean and soiled items. Given the sheer volume of dishes involved, larger dishtables make life much easier. Soiled dishtables store used, dirty items, while clean dishtables hold freshly washed ones. Depending on your kitchen layout, dishtables can be straight, corner, or island-shaped.
IMC offers a variety of clean and soiled dishtables. Straight dishtables can be 30 inches wide and extend up to 120 inches in length. Island and corner dishtables are 60 inches wide and can go up to 120 inches long. Don’t forget the flanged feet to help stabilize them during the ship’s movement. Here’s an overview:
Finally, **large compartment sinks** are indispensable for ware washing. Pots, pans, and other cooking utensils need constant sanitization throughout the voyage. A large compartment sink is the most effective solution. Drainboards are almost always necessary to hold your many items. Compartment sinks can come with various sink bowl and drainboard sizes, so aim for the best fit based on your ship's expected capacity.
IMC offers the **#SCS series** of compartment sinks. These sinks can have 1 to 4 sink bowls and drainboards. Sink bowls can be as deep as 20 inches by 28 inches, and drainboard lengths can reach up to 36 inches. Here’s a visual:
