New digital platform for the maritime industry

NextMariner, a newly launched maritime platform, aims to simplify interactions within the maritime industry by connecting professionals, students, companies, and educational institutions. Founded by Neha Mehta, a former seafarer and maritime expert, the platform seeks to streamline the sharing of knowledge, opportunities, and connections among various maritime stakeholders.

Neha's vision is to create a fairer, engaging, and rewarding future for the industry by consolidating vital information and experiences into a single, accessible resource.

NextMariner is part of the Danish accelerator programme Maritime Stars, which supports innovative startups in the maritime sector. Supported by Hoyer VMS, a well-established company in the industry, Neha Mehta sees immense potential in fostering stronger connections between individuals, skills, and companies. Henrik Sørensen, CEO of Hoyer VMS and a "lighthouse company" backing NextMariner, emphasizes the importance of attracting the right talent and providing them with suitable opportunities in an increasingly competitive market.

Neha Mehta will be present at SMM in Hamburg, where attendees can meet her at Hoyer VMS' stand B1.EG.406 on Tuesday, September 1, from 15:00 to 16:00. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about NextMariner, its vision, and its mission to become the digital hub for the maritime industry.
