Can anybody tell me whether the correct translation of approvvigionamento in the maritime industry is procurement or provisioning. I refer specifically to the process of purchasing goods/services requested by and delivered to passenger ships.

victualling
This is the word that came into my head and this is what Google definitions gave for it.
Definitions of victualling on the Web:
The restocking/resupplying of a ship at sea.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Jim, but I believe victualling refers specifically to the supply of food. I should have specified that the text in question refers to the supply of technical parts/equipment. |
