Provisioning deliveries to yachts
Provisioners, cash-and-carries and crew use Onshore to move galley orders to the dock without sending a dedicated van. Book space on a run that is already going your way, add temperature and handling notes, and follow it live.

Tips
Getting it right
- Only book chilled or frozen goods with a carrier whose vehicle is listed as refrigerated, and say so in the cargo description.
- Pack in crates or totes that one person can carry down a passerelle.
- Give a crew phone number so the driver can call on arrival at the gate.
Questions
FAQ
Can you carry chilled and frozen food?
Yes, if the carrier’s vehicle is listed as refrigerated. Perishables must not be booked on an unrefrigerated vehicle unless the journey is short and you accept the risk — say what the goods are in the cargo description.
Who is responsible if something is damaged?
The carrier is responsible for goods in their care, within the legal limits that apply to road transport. Declare the value when you book and consider your own cargo insurance for high-value orders. See Cargo protection for details.
Can the driver bring the goods on board?
Carriers deliver to the quay or the foot of the passerelle. Crew take goods on board. If you need help beyond that, agree it with the carrier in advance.
