ONECARE Group (OCG) has partnered with RightShip’s Zero Harm Innovation Partner Program to develop new solutions to protect seafarers’ well-being at sea further.
OCG’s integrated solution ensures seafarers have access to the mental health support, medical services and professional development they need to thrive.
Marinos Kokkinis, managing director of OneCare Group, said, “Seafarers face some of the toughest working conditions in the world, spending months away from family and friends. Our partnership with RightShip’s Zero Harm Partners Programme is about putting their well-being first. We’re committed to providing the support they need, from mental health services to training that helps them feel prepared and confident in their roles.”
OCG believes healthy and supported seafarers are essential for safe and efficient maritime operations. Through the OCG Mobile App, launched in 2023, seafarers can access mental, physical, and nutritional health resources 24/7, helping them maintain their well-being even during long, challenging voyages.
Additionally, Mental Health Support Solutions (MHSS) offers 24/7 counseling and psychological support, ensuring seafarers have someone to talk to when the pressures of life at sea become overwhelming.
The partnership goes beyond meeting industry regulations; it aims to create a culture of care within the maritime sector. OCG’s holistic services, from professional development courses to wellness platforms like WellAtSea, encourage seafarers to adopt healthier lifestyle choices, build stronger mental resilience, and feel connected to a wider community even far from home.
OCG also offers a range of bespoke medical services offering tailor-made solutions to fit client requirements through its Marine Medical Solutions (MMS) service, including an extensive quality assurance program for Pre-Employment Medical Examinations; round-the-clock telemedicine support, facilitation of shoreside treatment and repatriation which is not limited by claims management.
Digital training solutions are also provided via the OneLearn Global (OLG) platform, designed to meet seafarers’ unique needs and challenges, including SIRE 2.0, ECDIS and simulator training, alongside diversity, bullying and harassment, and mental health courses, all available online.
“Collaboration across the maritime industry is key to improving crew welfare and well-being outcomes. We are delighted to welcome OneCare Group to the Zero Harm Innovations Partners Programme and look forward to the positive impact its innovative solution will bring in advancing crew welfare in the maritime industry. OCG’s partnership with RightShip represents a bold step forward in prioritizing the human side of the maritime industry, ensuring that seafarers are not just another part of the supply chain but valued individuals whose safety and well-being are central to operational success,” Ajinkya Kadam, Head of Partnerships at RightShip, said.
OCG is an international organization that strives to improve Seafarers’ Health & Well-being through a strong network of specialists. It empowers seafarers to handle the unique pressures of maritime life — keeping them safe, healthy, and mentally resilient.
“In an industry where isolation, stress, and long working hours are common, this collaboration aims to connect product creators with shipowners and managers to focus on ensuring seafarers are supported not just physically but also mentally and professionally. OCG’s holistic approach offers a lifeline to the crew, addressing their well-being in a meaningful way,” OCG said in a statement.
