The maritime industry is facing a growing challenge - 70% of seafarers are classified as overweight or obese, largely due to diets high in processed and preserved foods. But poor nutrition at sea isn’t just about diet; it impacts crew health, morale, retention, and even operational safety. ? Writing for Baltic Transport Journal, our CEO, Oren Saar ???????, explores how autonomous onboard vegetable growing systems are shifting this narrative, ensuring seafarers have consistent access to fresh, chemical-free produce without increasing operational costs. ? Agwa is setting a new standard for nutrition at sea. Our AI-driven Virtual Agronomist technology ensures optimal plant growth with just water, electricity, and Wi-Fi, regardless of route or climate. ? By shifting reliance from external supply chains to onboard food production, ship operators cut transport emissions, packaging waste, and spoilage, aligning with maritime decarbonisation goals whilst supporting better crew health, morale, retention, and performance. ? Industry leaders are already embracing this revolution. Are you ready to redefine crew welfare and sustainability in shipping? ?

Onboard-grown produce isn’t just about crew welfare and sustainability - it’s about fresh, delicious meals that bring variety and nutrition to life at sea. This simple and refreshing radish salad is a perfect way to enjoy crisp, homegrown ingredients straight from your Agwa system. Here’s how to make it: Thinly slice 15-20 radishes and 3 green onions, then mix with parsley, diced green pepper, salt, and black pepper. Dress with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar for a light, zesty kick. Fresh, fast, and full of flavour - this is what #FreshAtSea looks like. Try it onboard and share your creations with us! Full recipe here: https://lnkd.in/efDQtfug #Shipping #Sustainability #Innovation #CrewWelfare #AI #Agritech

Meet Rotem Ben Shitrit, our VP of Client Services! Rotem recently embarked on a journey to personally connect with our clients Down Under in Australia. ?????? Here's a snippet from his adventure: "Just another 'typical' day at the office. This time, I found myself in Adelaide, South Australia, sharing laughs and insights with Mayank Agarwal from Fleet Ship and the legendary crew of the Lowland’s Freedom, including Captain Severiano Guleng and his Chief Engineer. ???? Together, we celebrated another vessel adopting Agwa's innovative solutions, making strides in self-growing fresh veggies right on board. This not only nurtures the crew but also respects our environment. ???? Definitely worth the 19-hour voyage to see our impact firsthand and the smiles it brings to our maritime family!" #AgwaFamily #SustainableSeas #ClientConnections

Seafarers are the unsung heroes of global trade, yet their welfare often lags behind industry advancements in automation, digitalisation, and decarbonisation. One of the most overlooked aspects of life at sea is nutrition, which plays a critical role in crew health, morale, retention, and operational performance. In the latest edition of Marine Insight, our CEO Oren Saar ??????? explores how AI-powered onboard vegetable growing systems are transforming life at sea, ensuring crews have consistent access to fresh, high-quality produce. For too long, maritime nutrition has relied on preserved and frozen foods, leading to nutritional deficiencies, reduced job satisfaction, and long-term health risks. With Agwa’s AI-driven technology, shipowners can bridge the nutritional gap between shore and sea - reducing reliance on external supply chains, cutting food waste and emissions, and future-proofing crew welfare - all without increasing costs.

A healthy soul in a healthy body. While there is a high focus on the mental well-being at sea, we should not forget, that the physical health also impacts how the teams on-board feel. ?????? On Charlotte Maersk we grow greens out in the blue. Thanks to #Agwafarm and our Chief Cook, we have fresh supplies of salads and herbs even in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. ????????
