OneCare Group has been recognised for its outstanding dedication to
advancing crew wellbeing, diversity and inclusion within the maritime
industry, receiving two major awards this November.
OneCare Group was recognised as the Top Scale-up Winner at the 9th Smart
Port Challenge 2025 in Singapore, organised by the Maritime and Port
Authority of Singapore (MPA) and NUS Enterprise, the entrepreneurial
heart of the National University of Singapore (NUS). The Top Scale-up
Award was sponsored by Reefknot Capital.
The Smart Port Challenge (SPC) is an annual innovation challenge
organised by PIER71 to attract startups with breakthrough
technology-driven solutions to step forward, and address key challenges
faced by the maritime industry.
OneCare Group was also the winner of the Thematic award of PIER71 for
Digitalisation, winning the Digitalisation Prize, sponsored by RINA.
This award was closely followed by another achievement at Europort 2025
in Rotterdam, where OneCare Group received the CAREER4SEA Diversity &
Inclusion Award for its efforts to promote equality and inclusivity
across the industry.
The Singapore award highlights OneCare Group’s innovation in crew
health and welfare through OneCare360, an integrated health management
system designed to improve the lives and wellbeing of seafarers across
the world.
“Our goal has always been to improve how crews are supported,” said
Marinos Kokkinis, CEO of OneCare Group. “We’ll keep driving
innovation that makes maritime healthcare more proactive and more
effective.”
OneCare360 uses real-time health monitoring, screening and 24/7 medical
and psychological support to help identify risks early and maintain
healthier, safer crews. It has already supported more than 5,000 mental
health cases and helped prevent over 90 potential loss-of-life
incidents.
“This achievement underscores our mission to transform maritime
healthcare through our integrated, AI-powered ecosystem for proactive,
predictive, and preventive crew health management. In a sector facing
rising medical incidents and mental health challenges, we are proud to
be shaping a safer, smarter, and more human-centric maritime future,”
added Mr Kokkinis.
As far as OneCare Group’s work with diversity and inclusion is
concerned, Stella Kakouri, Associate General Manager, OneCare Group,
said: “We recognise that diversity is not just a corporate goal, but a
human reality for seafarers working in multicultural and multinational
teams.
“Crews come from different nations, cultures, genders, and identities,
and our role is to ensure that each individual feels valued, respected
and supported. This award is a reminder that diversity and inclusion
must never be an afterthought. By embedding diversity, equity, and
respect into the heart of maritime life, we not only support individuals
but strengthen the entire industry,” added Ms Kakouri.
Through its member companies, Marine Medical Solutions, Mental Health
Support Solutions, WellAtSea and OneLearn Global, OneCare Group delivers
a holistic approach to care, combining health and wellbeing support with
diversity training and inclusion initiatives.
“We are truly honoured to receive these awards, which recognise our
ongoing commitment to supporting crew wellbeing and promoting
diversity,” added Mr Kokkinis.
