Ripple Acquires AdonisHR to Enhance Maritime HR Solutions

Ripple Operations has acquired AdonisHR in a move aimed at expanding Ripple’s global reach in the maritime industry, according to a press release.

The acquisition, financially backed by New York-based Bleecker Street Group, is expected to bolster Ripple’s position as a leading provider of maritime HR solutions, the companies said in a statement.

Heather Combs, CEO of Ripple Operations, said: “This acquisition is a transformative moment for both of our companies. By combining forces, we are set to build upon our leading market position and redefine Crew Success Software to optimize crew safety, efficiency, and overall performance from a single, unified platform.”

AdonisHR will contribute to Ripple’s service of over 380,000 mariners on more than 2,000 vessels across nearly 100 countries.

Combs added:, “Customers can rest assured that we will provide the same client-focused service and commitment to optimizing HR processes under the entire Ripple umbrella.”

Co-founder of AdonisHR, Per Ove Kviteberg said:, “Joining the Ripple platform marks a monumental leap forward for AdonisHR. With Ripple’s extensive resources and our combined expertise, we are ready to deliver a comprehensive suite of software solutions that empower maritime organizations to optimize crew performance and achieve sustainable growth on a global scale.”

The acquisition follows Ripple’s formation through the merger of MarineCFO and Marine Learning Systems (MLS), whose e-learning and skills assessment solutions will now integrate into the AdonisHR product suite. Ripple plans to continue enhancing its platform with additional modules, either developed in-house or through further acquisitions.
