Where an order is confirmed as 100% Halal, the Halal goods are kept apart from non-Halal items during purchasing, packing, labelling and delivery.
Can SVC Marine supply Halal provisions to vessels in Vietnam?
Yes. SVC Marine supplies dedicated 100% Halal provision packages for vessels with Muslim officers and crew calling Vietnamese ports, shipyards and anchorages. Packages may include Halal-certified beef, lamb and poultry, Dhabihah or Zabiha meat where certification is available, pork-free and lard-free food, alcohol-free products, Ramadan provisions and separately packed Halal stores.
Processed products with doubtful or unclear ingredients may be treated as Mashbooh and excluded unless their ingredients can be verified. Products containing pork, lard, alcohol, non-Halal meat or other Haram ingredients are excluded from a confirmed 100% Halal order.
The objective is to provide food that is Halal and Tayyib: permissible, clean, wholesome and suitable for the crew’s dietary requirements.

100% Halal provision
100% Halal Provision for Muslim Crews
A confirmed 100% Halal order is treated as a separate order specification, not as a note added to a general provision list.

- Dhabihah or Zabiha meat where certification is available
- Pork-free and lard-free products

Halal order handling
How SVC Marine Prepares a 100% Halal Provision Order
01
Confirm crew nationality and dietary requirements
Requirement is taken from the vessel or manager, not assumed.
02
Mark the requisition as 100% Halal
The flag travels with the order through purchasing and packing.
03
Identify Halal-certified meat and processed products
Sourced from manufacturers holding the relevant certification.
04
Exclude pork, lard, alcohol and non-Halal animal ingredients
Removed at the purchasing stage, not at delivery.
05
Review Mashbooh ingredients
Doubtful items are excluded unless the ingredients can be verified.
06
Separate the order from non-Halal goods
Kept apart during handling, storage and loading.
07
Pack and label Halal cartons
Marked so the galley can identify them on receipt.
08
Preserve cold-chain requirements
Frozen, chilled and dry goods kept in their own condition.
09
Deliver to the vessel
Berth, anchorage, shipyard, agent or launch-boat point.
10
Provide available certificates and labels
Product certificates or supplier declarations where available.
The vessel should notify SVC Marine of any company-specific, national, Madhhab, allergy or medical dietary requirement before purchasing begins.
Ramadan provisioning
Ramadan Provision for Muslim Seafarers
Ramadan changes the shape of the order rather than the size: meals move to two fixed points in the day, and the store list follows.
Suhoor
Pre-Dawn Meal
Slow-release and high-energy items that hold the crew through the working day.
- Rice and staples
- Eggs and dairy
- Yoghurt
- Bread and cereals
- Fruit
- Tea and coffee
- Drinking water
Iftar
Breaking the Fast
Items normally requested for the evening meal after sunset.
- Dates
- Juice and milk
- Soup ingredients
- Meat and poultry
- Fresh fruit
- Crew-requested regional foods
- Drinking water
Quantities, timing and menu items are set by the vessel. SVC Marine supplies against the requisition and does not advise on religious observance or issue Islamic certification.
Multinational crews
Multinational Crew Food Supply
A single galley often feeds several nationalities at once. The provision list has to reflect that, or the stores go unused and the next order repeats the same problem.
Indian crew food
Filipino crew food
Indonesian crew food
Chinese crew food
Vietnamese crew food
Bangladeshi crew food
Myanmar crew food
Turkish and Middle East crew food
Russian and Ukrainian crew food
European officer preferences

European officer preferences
Where the crew is mixed, the vessel should state the split by nationality and any separate officer requirement. Regional items, spices and staples are then quoted against local availability rather than substituted without notice.
Bonded stores
Bonded Stores for Vessels in Vietnam
Bonded stores are customs-controlled or duty-related goods supplied subject to applicable procedures. What can be delivered, and how, depends on the port and the vessel’s status at the time of call.

- Soft drinks and juices
- Mineral and drinking water
- Tea, coffee and beverages
- Confectionery without alcohol or gelatine of unverified origin
- Toiletries and personal-care products

Requests are handled case by case against the port’s customs procedure, the agent’s instruction and the vessel’s own policy.
Alcohol and tobacco products are supplied only where legally permitted and subject to customs, port, agent and vessel procedures.

Order controls
Substitution, Food Safety and Cold-Chain Handling
Three controls decide whether a provision order arrives usable: what may be substituted, what condition the goods are in, and how the temperature bands are kept apart.
01
Product Substitution and Owner Approval
- Requested brand checked first
- Substitution proposed with reason
- Owner or vessel approval before purchase
- Halal, pork-free and alcohol-free status re-checked on any substitute
- Unavailable items reported, not replaced silently
02
Food Quality and Delivery Controls
- Expiry-date checks
- Packaging condition
- Product labelling
- Quantity checking
- Delivery photographs
- Signed receipt where available
03
Cold-Chain Handling
- Frozen, chilled and dry goods separated
- Cold-chain handling where applicable
- Packing suited to transfer time
- Anchorage transfers timed to sea condition
- Halal cartons kept segregated throughout
SVC Marine does not claim HACCP, ISO 22000, Halal certification or any other certificate on its own account. Product-level certification, where it exists, belongs to the manufacturer or supplier and is passed to the vessel where available and requested.
