Oceans Gourmet, in collaboration with leading ship manager, Synergy Marine Group, organized a first of its kind photo contest to mark the “International Dessert Day” (14th October 2020) and “International Chefs Day” (20th October 2020). The primary aim of these contests was to recognize the contribution of the galley teams onboard cargo ships, who through their skill, passion, and hard work, add so much flavour to life at sea.
The contest received an overwhelming response with over 600 photographs from Synergy’s diverse fleet of 400 + vessels. The entries were shortlisted by Scorpio Marine’s General Manager, Mr. Deva Senapathy, a hospitality professional with three decades of varied experience in luxury hotels, catering institutes, and cruise liners. All the winners and runners-up received cash awards sponsored by Scorpio.
