RightShip is pleased to welcome MHS-Maritime to the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program, strengthening our shared commitment to improving safety.
MHS-Maritime delivers a clinically governed, technology-enabled approach to mental health and psychological safety, combining early detection, continuous wellbeing monitoring and timely intervention. Through a proprietary AI-supported platform and an in-house, multilingual clinical team, MHS-Maritime provides tailored psychological support to seafarers and shore-based personnel—customised at company, vessel, and individual level to reflect the realities of maritime operations. This partnership reflects a growing industry recognition that psychological safety is a critical component of operational risk management and a core pillar of the Zero Harm vision.
MHS-Maritime joined the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program to help accelerate the adoption of proactive mental health practices across maritime operations. Their mission—to detect early signs of emotional distress and provide timely, evidence-based support—closely aligns with RightShip’s commitment to reducing harm across the maritime value chain.
By participating in the program, MHS-Maritime becomes part of a broader network of organisations focused on safety, wellbeing and continuous improvement. The collaboration creates opportunities to share insights, promote awareness and support shipping companies in embedding psychological safety alongside physical safety in everyday operations.
Mental health support in the maritime industry has traditionally been reactive and difficult to translate into meaningful operational insight. Long periods away from home, demanding workloads, limited connectivity and cultural stigma can delay early help-seeking and obscure emerging psychosocial risks.
Central to this approach is the early identification of emotional and psychosocial risk indicators before they escalate into wellbeing concerns, safety risks or performance issues. Using structured wellbeing assessments and continuous trend-based monitoring, MHS Maritime enables organisations to understand how psychological risk develops and evolves over time at individual, vessel and organisational levels.
By combining a proprietary AI-enabled engagement layer with direct access to in-house clinical professionals, the platform facilitates early connection, culturally sensitive support and structured escalation pathways when intervention is required. All services are customised to each organisation’s operational profile, vessel context and crew composition, ensuring that psychological safety measures remain relevant, practical and actionable.
In addition to early intervention, MHS-Maritime places strong emphasis on psychoeducation and empowerment. By helping seafarers and managers build emotional awareness, resilience and psychological literacy, the platform supports a culture of self-care, trust and continuous improvement—even in high-pressure maritime environments.
Through its participation in the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program, MHS-Maritime aims to:
Embed psychological safety as a core component of maritime safety management and operational risk frameworks
Demonstrate the value of clinically governed, data-informed wellbeing monitoring and early intervention
Scale customised, vessel-specific mental health support across global fleets
Collaborate with RightShip and industry peers to share insights, test evidence-based approaches and drive continuous improvement in pursuit of Zero Harm
Mental health and psychological safety are increasingly recognised as essential to safe maritime operations. Through this partnership, RightShip and MHS-Maritime will work together to support earlier intervention, reduce stigma and promote wellbeing practices that help prevent harm before it occurs.
We are pleased to welcome MHS-Maritime to the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program and look forward to collaborating as we continue working towards a safer, more sustainable maritime industry—where wellbeing, safety, and responsibility go hand in hand.
