ship provisions
Cargo for crew
Ship provisions are the supplies carried on a vessel for a voyage—food, water, fuel, and other necessities for the crew and passengers.
To provision a ship is to stock it with these supplies before departure.
The term extends to any expedition's supplies: We loaded provisions for the three-week trek.
