EVER wonder how many eggs
it takes to feed a fleet of five?
6.2 million fresh eggs a year,
or enough to stretch end-to-end
from Sydney to Canberra
according to P&O Cruises.
The cruise line feeds nearly
12,000 passengers and crew
every day, adding up to an
annual purchase of about 2.6m
kilograms of meat and poultry
and 4.7m kilograms of fruit and
vegetables from local suppliers.
Poultry aside, beef is the
most consumed meat on board
P&O’s fleet, at 509,500kg
a year, followed by pork at
455,000kg, lamb at 92,200kg
and veal at 47,050kg.
This is alongside 125,000kg
of cheese and more than 1.2m
litres of milk, yoghurt, cream
and ice cream a year.
