Date: 01 January 2020
We are pleased and honored to announce this month’s exciting list of vessels who performed outstandingly during their recent galley audits.
Our Superintendents have spent the month visiting many vessels and have observed the hard work and care that goes into keeping a vessel crew going. They have been amazed and have returned with many good experiences and stories from the audits.
As part of Garrets appreciation for the hard work and excellent standards, we would like to showcase the following vessels and thank them for their efforts, warm welcome and kind hospitality:
Our Superintendent James Tan visited Macuru Arrow in Singapore on 10.01.2020, to conduct a vessel audit and on-board training for the Chief Cook.
Captain Ruel Amante Tabug quoted:
“Indeed, Chief Cook Baldivia and GBY Ralfie Magharing deserve the recognition.
As the Captain of the ship I am very grateful to these men whose intention is always to satisfy the Officers and crew. I believe it is the love for their job that is key. It is not just days of preparation for these guys, but it is always their intention to make things in order .
My appreciation for the Garrets support in all aspects of the galley department. Indeed, it makes the team more effective in budgeting, quality food preparation and most of all quality work ethics in the galley as whole.”
Superintendents comments:
Overall, the vessel scored an impressive 96% in the audit report. All areas are very clean and well organized by the Chief Cook. An excellent example of a well-managed catering department. Job well done!

Superintendents comments:
Overall the vessel scored an impressive ‘Best Practice’ 100% in the audit report, a testament to the Chief Cooks hard work. Well done on this excellent result!
Our Superintendents visit many vessels every month, each month they select just one vessel to appear in Garrets’ monthly newsletter as “Visited Vessel of the Month” scoring 100% in their audit report. However, at Garrets we would like to show the industry all the high scoring “Best Practice” vessels in our care and recognise the hard work of galley crews.
To feature in the “Galley of Fame” vessels must receive an overall percentage score of between 95% to 100% on the Superintendent’s galley and stores audit report and have permission of the Master and Vessel Managers to appear on Garrets’ website and social media posts.
Each vessel should aim to score above 94% on each of the following audit areas:
