MCTC, the leading international catering and training provider, has issued guidance to galley crew who may be affected by vessel or port restrictions during the global coronavirus outbreak.
With some ship operators advising vessels not to dock or restock supplies in certain areas of Asia, MCTC has issued helpful and timely guidelines to galley crew on how to prevent spreading viruses on board through cross-contamination in the kitchen.
Christian Ioannou, Managing Director of MCTC, said: “The alarming spread of the coronavirus and the restrictions being implemented across the maritime sector mean that it’s important galley crew focus on hygiene and ensuring foods are prepared in their designated areas to prevent cross-contamination. As good practice, the company has sent notices to all crew reminding them of the importance of cleanliness and good hygiene practices as a protection against spreading the virus."
