Mariner Skills Joins RightShip’s Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program

RightShip is proud to welcome Mariner Skills as the latest member of our Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program, uniting our shared commitment to advancing maritime safety, sustainability, and continuous learning across the global shipping community.

For over a decade, Mariner Skills has been a driving force in digital maritime training, combining world-class expertise with innovative technology to deliver safe, compliant, and future-ready learning experiences. This partnership reinforces our collective drive towards a shared Zero Harm mission, strengthening our commitment to safety, sustainability, and a resilient maritime industry.

Empowering Safer Operations Through Digital Learning

Founded in 2015 and originally part of ECM Maritime Services, Mariner Skills has evolved into one of the industry’s most trusted names in online maritime education. As a USCG-approved organisation and certified by ABS and NKK, Mariner Skills delivers a comprehensive library of over 700 STCW-compliant courses — covering everything from Deepsea Shipping to the latest SIRE 2.0 and RightShip RISQ 3.1 training standards.

Their innovative platform is a first-of-its-kind, fully integrated system for content creation, competency management, learning, and certification. Supported by a team of maritime educators and over 100 IT professionals, Mariner Skills empowers organisations and seafarers with tools that blend accessibility, engagement, and compliance.

Bridging Digital Learning with Real-World Safety

Mariner Skills joined the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program to contribute its training expertise and help accelerate behavioural and cultural change across the industry, advancing our shared mission of achieving Zero Harm in the maritime sector.

The company’s solutions directly address long-standing challenges in maritime training — from inconsistent crew knowledge and evolving compliance standards to the limitations of onboard connectivity. With a mix of online certification courses and offline-ready microlearning modules, Mariner Skills ensures that seafarers can learn, certify, and reinforce key safety concepts wherever they are in the world.

Their multimedia-rich courseware — combining videos, graphics, and assessments — drives better retention and engagement, ensuring that training translates into safer operations and improved vessel performance. Mariner Skills offers courses that are closely aligned with RISQ and SIRE frameworks, helping crews stay audit-ready and compliant with the latest global standards.

A Shared Vision for a Zero Harm Future

Through this partnership, Mariner Skills aims to champion a proactive safety culture — where Zero Harm becomes more than an ideal, but a daily operational reality. Together with RightShip and fellow innovation partners, they will collaborate to raise awareness of training’s vital role in achieving safety, sustainability, and human reliability at sea.

By continuously evolving its platform to meet the pace of regulatory and technological change, Mariner Skills is helping to shape a future-ready maritime workforce — one that is better trained, better supported, and better prepared to uphold the highest safety standards.

Looking Ahead

The collaboration between RightShip and Mariner Skills marks another milestone in our journey towards Zero Harm. By uniting training innovation with data-driven safety insights, we are building a safer, smarter, and more sustainable maritime future — one in which every seafarer has access to the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.

We are delighted to welcome Mariner Skills to the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program and look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have across the global maritime industry.
