Mintra, a global leader in digital learning and workforce management solutions for the maritime and energy sectors, has completed the acquisition of SQLearn, a leading Greek provider of online maritime training solutions. The move strengthens Mintra’s presence in Greece and underlines its commitment to driving digital transformation in the maritime industry.

With decades of experience in learning, HR and crew-management solutions, Mintra offers a comprehensive suite of software and services for workforce optimisation, compliance management and learning delivery.

SQLearn supports more than 1,000 vessels, 50,000 seafarers and 150 shipping companies worldwide.

Enormous benefits for shipowners and seafarers
The acquisition combines Mintra’s global reach with SQLearn’s strong Greek heritage and specialised content development. SQLearn’s CEO Spyros Goumas said: “I am excited about the opportunities this acquisition creates for SQLearn. With Mintra powering our Greek-developed products while offering international reach through Mintra’s global presence, we foresee enormous benefits for shipowners and seafarers alike.”
