See How Sodexo Employees at Sea Experience the Junina Celebrations with Typical Food and Warmth, Even Though They Are Away from Dry Land

Tradition That Strengthens Bonds at Sea

Since 2022, Sodexo On-Site Brazil, specialized in food and facilities services, has transformed offshore platforms and ships into true party grounds during the month of June. Thus, even kilometers from the coast, the Junina parties come to life at sea.

For many employees who spend 15 to 30 days on board, away from their homes and families, these moments bring warmth and well-being. The care in every detail is noticed and highly valued, according to the participants themselves.

Party Requires Planning and Dedication

Throwing a Junina party on an offshore vessel requires more than just good ideas. Therefore, a rigorous logistical planning is essential.

Renan Lemos, chef-instructor at Sodexo and a reference in offshore operations, with over 16 years of experience, shares:
“The Junina Party is highly anticipated offshore. For many, it represents a rare moment of connection with the culture on dry land,” he highlights.

He further emphasizes: “Even in the middle of the ocean, we manage to bring this sense of belonging and joy to the crew”.

Menus Adapted to Cultural Diversity

Another essential detail is the menu, which varies according to the profile of the crew on each unit. Thus:

If there are many Bahian employees on board, dishes like mungunzá, canjiquinha, and cuscuz predominate.
When the crew is primarily from the South, recipes like cuca and cakes of Italian and German origin appear.
And for the Americans on board, barbecues and hot dogs with special sauces are prepared.

Thus, food planning begins weeks in advance, with prior shipping of dry and frozen supplies. This process ensures that everything is available at the time of the party.

Tradition That Strengthens Well-Being

Finally, it is important to highlight that these initiatives demonstrate Sodexo’s attention not only to food but also to the emotional and cultural well-being of workers on platforms.

In fact, the Junina Party offshore reflects Sodexo’s ongoing commitment to quality and humanized care in all operations.
Thus, tradition and well-being sail together, strengthening bonds between teams and promoting positive experiences in challenging environments.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

A perfect 6 km ring in the far east of Russia intrigues NASA satellites as it appears to be a meteor crater or an extinct volcano, but the agency has already confirmed that it is neither and harbors a much stranger origin beneath the Earth.

Australia positions a barge with 78-meter legs at sea to install ocean sockets connected to tunnels under the seabed to supply a desalination plant that will produce 150 million liters of water per day in Alkimos until 2028.

From a simple approach at the gate to more than R$ 45,000 in donations, the story of a gardener offering volunteer work shows how a well-tended garden can pave the way for food, hope, and an almost finished home for a Brazilian family.
