Agwa is proud to announce its win at the Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global 2025 Awards where the company received the distinguished Health and Wellbeing at Sea Award. This recognition reflects Agwa’s growing impact on crew welfare, safety, and quality of life across the global maritime industry.
The ceremony was held in Manila during one of the most influential events in the international crewing sector. The awards highlight companies and individuals who advance maritime safety, crew development, seafarer welfare, and technological innovation. Agwa’s solution was selected by an independent judging panel made up of maritime leaders, academics, and industry specialists who reviewed a highly competitive group of submissions.
Transforming Daily Life on Board Commercial Vessels
Agwa’s autonomous fresh growing system was honored for its significant contribution to crew health and wellbeing at sea. By enabling vessels to grow fresh vegetables and herbs throughout the voyage, Agwa ensures that seafarers have continuous access to nutritious food regardless of port schedules, supply chain limitations, or weather conditions at sea.
Reports from crews operating in Asia, Europe, and the Americas show notable improvements in morale, nutrition, and overall wellbeing. Captains and chief engineers frequently describe how Agwa supports healthier eating habits, reduces stress on long rotations, and creates a more positive atmosphere on board. These real world results played an important role in the judges decision to award Agwa this prestigious recognition.
Supporting Crew Welfare and Sustainable Operations
This award reinforces Agwa’s commitment to both crew welfare and environmentally responsible operations. By reducing food waste, minimizing reliance on external supply chains, and lowering packaging requirements, Agwa helps commercial fleets work toward sustainability goals while improving the everyday lives of seafarers.
Crew welfare and mental health are now recognized as core components of operational excellence across the maritime industry. Agwa offers a practical and scalable solution that enhances quality of life on board without increasing workload for the crew. The system operates autonomously and is designed specifically for the realities of life at sea.
A Milestone for Agwa and a Shared Achievement for the Maritime Community
Winning the Health and Wellbeing at Sea Award is a meaningful milestone for the Agwa team and a testament to its partnerships with global shipping companies. Agwa is honored to be recognized by Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global, a central event in the maritime calendar that celebrates excellence, leadership, and innovation within the industry.
As Agwa continues to expand across global fleets, the company remains dedicated to its mission of bringing freshness, nutrition, and wellbeing to life at sea.
