Food roll
The dining role was a regulation on minimum food on board a ship.
details
Until the Maritime Labor Act came into force on August 1, 2013, food and drink were regulated in Section 39 SeemG .
The food roll listed the minimum quantities of food and drinks that the crew members must have available on board a ship for their own needs.
Depending on the home port and the various seaman's orders, different food rolls have been in effect on German ships since the 19th century. The first Hamburg food roll, for example, was published in 1849; the food roll existed in the Royal Navy around 200 years earlier. The right to the food roll to be used for catering was stipulated on German ships in the seaman's law and the ordinances of the home ports in the respective coastal countries.
Since 2013, the right to food has been comprehensively regulated in Section 97 SeearbG and also extends to the nutritional value, quality and variety of the food and drinks provided on board as well as drinking water. The number of crew members on board, their cultural peculiarities and religious customs as well as the duration and type of voyage must also be taken into account.
