SYNERGY MARINE ADOPTS AGWA’S AI-SUPERVISED FARMING ON BOARD SHIPS FOR HEALTHIER

MUMBAI: The shipping industry has started adopting artificial intelligence
directed cultivation devices to grow vegetables on board vessels to enhance
sustainability and wellbeing of the crew.

As one of the first adopters of Agwa’s autonomous vegetable-growing technology,
Singapore-based ship manager Synergy Marine Group is enhancing onboard nutrition
and championing sustainability, pioneering this initiative alongside other key
industry players such as Eastern Pacific Shipping, Seaspan Corp, Capital
Shipping, and CoolCo in bringing fresh produce to sea.

As part of a pilot project, Synergy managed Suezmax tanker ‘EFFIE MAERSK’ has
been using Agwa’s cutting-edge AI-directed cultivation devices since September.
These units, which are about the same size as standard refrigerators or wine
coolers, allow the crew to enjoy freshly picked vegetables in the middle of the
ocean.

The self-contained units use artificial intelligence, cameras and sensors to
regulate environmental factors such as ultraviolet light, water, fertiliser and
temperature. By maintaining optimal conditions for plant growth, the AI ensures
that the vegetables grow efficiently and meet the needs of the crew. The system
is designed to be entirely automated, so the crew need only to monitor the
process and occasionally check on the plants’ progress.

From three Agwa units, the ‘EFFIE MAERSK’ has up to four bowls of fresh salad
per week, along with herbs for seasoning. This not only provides nutritional
benefits but also reduces waste and lessens the need for costly deliveries of
fresh produce, which often suffers significant nutrient loss during long
voyages.

“This initiative is close to my heart as a fellow seafarer,” said Captain Rajesh
Unni, Synergy’s founder and Chairman.

“High-speed internet access and shorter tours of duty are vital for seafarer
satisfaction, but I’ve also seen firsthand how important fresh, nutritious food
is to morale and well-being onboard. Among today’s increasingly health-conscious
mariners, we’re observing a noticeable shift toward healthier, plant-forward
eating habits,” Captain Unni said.

“Agwa’s technology allows us to serve fresher, healthier food onboard, directly
enhancing crew welfare. This innovation also reduces food waste and delivers
real-time benefits for the crew, aligning with our shared commitment to a
greener, more sustainable maritime industry,” Captain Unni added.

“Working with Synergy on this transformative project marks an exciting milestone
for Agwa. Synergy’s forward-thinking approach to sustainability and focus on
crew welfare align seamlessly with Agwa’s vision. Synergy’s continued advocacy
for meaningful change sets a powerful example and reflects the trust and shared
ambition that we are building together to enhance onboard nutrition and
sustainability. Together, we are paving the way for a greener, healthier future
for seafarers and the maritime industry,” said Oren Saar, Chief Executive
Officer, Agwa.
