OneCare Group urges shift to predictive healthcare at sea as maritime leaders discuss future of maritime health sector at Posidonia conference in International Shipping News 11/06/2026 Maritime leaders at a healthcare-focused seminar during Posidonia 2026 called for a major shift in how the shipping industry protects crews, arguing that reactive treatment alone is no longer enough for an industry facing rising medical, operational and geopolitical pressures. The event, held by health and wellness platform OneCare Group titled ‘Transforming Healthcare at Sea: Future Health Systems for the Maritime Industry,’ brought together shipowners, medical specialists, insurers and welfare experts to discuss telemedicine, mental health, predictive analytics, compliance and seafarer wellbeing. Organisers framed the discussion around a simple message repeated throughout the session: health and safety at sea can no longer be treated as separate issues. Marinos Kokkinis, CEO, OneCare Group The speakers included Amalia Marcou, Crew Director at Enesel Group; Kostas Katsoulieris, P&I Claims Director, Greece, at NorthStandard; Cpt Ioannis Kokkotas, Marine Manager at MGJ Carriers & Tankers; Dr Jens Tulsner, CEO and Founder of Marine Medical Solutions and a member of the OneCare Group; and Stella Kiss, Head of Clinical Operations at Mental Health Support Solutions and member of OneCare Group. Addressing delegates, Marinos Kokkinis, CEO of OneCare Group and organiser of the seminar, pointed to the importance of protecting our biggest assets, which is the seafarers. “We mentioned it many times, some believe that the loss of life at sea in our industry is at acceptable levels, but I would argue it is not and we are still looking at loss of life. We are talking about human beings – and every life counts. We must support this vision for sustainable shipping, for taking care of our seafarers, and recognising that they are our greatest asset.” Delegates packed out conference held by OneC
