June Update: Crossworld’s Strategic Highlights from Oslo
June was a milestone month for Crossworld Marine Services—one filled with collaboration, thought leadership, and meaningful dialogue at the forefront of maritime innovation. As the global shipping community gathered in Oslo for Nor-Shipping 2025, Crossworld took center stage in advancing the conversation around the future of crewing, digital transformation, and investment in sustainable maritime solutions.
Nor-Shipping 2025: Showcasing Human-Centric Maritime Leadership
From June 3–6, Crossworld proudly participated in Nor-Shipping 2025, one of the industry’s most influential events. At our booth, we spotlighted our commitment to building high-quality, future-ready crew pools and reaffirmed our belief that sustainability begins with skilled, supported seafarers.
Visitors engaged with our leadership team on topics ranging from maritime wellness and retention strategies to integrated crewing support and compliance. The overwhelming interest validated our ongoing investments in talent development and technology.
Seminar with Pyli Net: “Mapping the Software of Shipping – Humans”
In a packed session co-hosted with Pyli Net, we explored a pressing question: As AI and automation rise, what role do humans still play in shipping?
The seminar made a powerful case for why people remain the industry’s irreplaceable “software”—adaptive, ethical, and essential to safe, resilient operations. Panelists emphasized the need for upskilling, crew-centric digital tools, and fostering a company culture that values its workforce as its greatest asset.
Simos Varias at the Oslo Maritime Venture Financing Forum
Crossworld’s CEO, Simos Varias, was invited to speak at the Oslo Maritime Venture Financing Forum, a gathering of global investors focused on maritime technology.
He offered Crossworld’s perspective on sustainable crew management as a value driver, highlighting how forward-looking investment in people, platforms, and processes is creating long-term competitive advantage in the shipping sector.
The session confirmed a growing alignment between capital markets and Crossworld’s core mission: to deliver smarter, human-powered maritime solutions.
