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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
