To amplify the answer previously given, when offshore you generally use seawater to wash dishes and then rinse with fresh, in order to make your fresh water supply last longer.

It makes some sense, but I am pretty sure the foot pump in the galley is sea water so this seems redundant, but I guess sometimes you want more water than the foot pump would easily deliver.
