MarinePALS Joins RightShip’s Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program

RightShip is pleased to welcome MarinePALS as a new member of our Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program. With a shared commitment to strengthening safety outcomes across the maritime industry, this partnership brings together RightShip’s global Zero Harm mission and MarinePALS’ innovative approach to digital seafarer training. Both organisations are aligned in championing safer, more proactive learning practices across the industry.

Empowering Seafarers Through Engaging, Practical Training

MarinePALS is a modern maritime EdTech company that blends microlearning, gamification, virtual reality and competency systems with deep seafaring expertise.

Their suite includes:

• Marine Flix – onboard-shot microlearning videos and CBTs

• Marine Games – gamified PSC inspection training

• Marine VR – immersive shipboard familiarisation via VR and mobile

• Marine Cadets – digital record books for structured cadet development

• Assignment Engine – comprehensive testing and analytics platform

• OCIMF-aligned Competency Tracking System

• Mobile-accessible SMS hosting

• Circulars – a tracking system which ensure seafarers have received and read key updates

• Surveys – mobile-enabled surveys with analytics

• MarinePALS AI Assistant – an industry-first AI assistant for managing regulations and loss prevention information.

All tools are delivered through a cloud-based platform with mobile access and offline capability for low-bandwidth vessels.

Addressing Key Training and Safety Challenges

MarinePALS’ solutions have been developed through collaboration with ship managers, training superintendents and seafarers, directly addressing long-standing industry challenges, including:

• low engagement with traditional training

• limited practical familiarity and scenario-based learning onboard

• inconsistent and subjective competency evaluation

• gaps in inspection readiness and defect awareness

• fragmented training systems across fleets

By unifying videos, VR modules, assessments, analytics, circulars and competency pathways within a single platform, MarinePALS helps fleets strengthen capability and reinforce safer behaviours across operations.

Driving Safer Outcomes Through Partnership

MarinePALS joined the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program to contribute to the maritime sector’s shared goal of strengthening safety culture and reducing incidents. Their high-engagement training methodologies strongly complement RightShip’s focus on behaviour-driven safety outcomes.

Participation in the program enables MarinePALS to align their tools with recognised global frameworks and support the industry’s shift toward more consistent, future-ready safety practices—particularly around competency, risk awareness and practical, scenario-based learning.

Through their involvement in ZHIP, MarinePALS aims to help fleets strengthen safety culture by embedding microlearning, VR familiarisation and gamified inspection exercises into everyday workflows. Their digital approach also supports the industry’s move toward more scalable, accessible and behaviour-based safety tools.

As part of the wider ZHIP network, MarinePALS joins a collective effort focused on improving safety practices and sharing insights that benefit the broader maritime community.

Looking Ahead

RightShip is proud to welcome MarinePALS to the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program. Together, we look forward to advancing safety, competency, and operational resilience across the maritime industry.
