The agreement builds on a longstanding relationship between the companies through Unimed’s MedScale medical supply and medical chest management program and marks another important milestone in the continued rollout of Unimed’s Telemed Plus platform, launched in 2024. The expansion underscores the growing adoption of Unimed’s integrated healthcare platform by leading global maritime operators while demonstrating the increasing value of its subscription-based services and supporting the Company’s broader strategy of expanding its healthcare and compliance offerings worldwide.
“When we launched Telemed Plus, our vision was to create a more connected, proactive approach to maritime healthcare,” said Jules Nasso, Senior Vice President, Commercial at Unimed. “The expansion of our relationship with Bahri demonstrates how that vision is translating into meaningful customer adoption. As operators increasingly look for integrated healthcare and compliance solutions, we’re continuing to expand our platform to help improve crew wellbeing, support operational efficiency, and deliver greater value through our subscription-based services.”
Through Telemed Plus, Bahri’s crews will have access to 24/7 clinical support from Unimed’s healthcare professionals based in Athens, Greece, along with proactive crew healthcare management, pre-embarkation medical examinations, and real-time visibility into onboard medical inventories. By integrating clinical expertise with live inventory management and Unimed’s global distribution network, the service enables vessels to address many routine medical needs onboard while helping reduce unnecessary shoreside medical visits and associated operational disruption.
The agreement further reinforces Unimed’s continued evolution beyond traditional medical supply services into a broader maritime healthcare platform. Through a recent acquisition, the Company is also expanding its capabilities in crew compliance services, including drug and alcohol testing, complementing its growing portfolio of healthcare solutions for commercial and cruise vessel operators.
With customers spanning Europe, Asia, the Americas, and now the Middle East, the partnership with Bahri further strengthens Unimed’s international footprint and reflects growing demand for integrated healthcare solutions that support crew wellbeing, operational efficiency, and vessel readiness.

Verdantis Rebrands as the AI Super-Agent for MRO, Sets Sights on AI-Native Enterprise Asset Management8.9.2026 16:06:00 CEST | Press Release
Verdantis, the AI company for spare parts and MRO inventory optimization in asset-intensive industries, today unveiled its new brand identity as the AI Super-agent for MRO and announced it is building toward a fully AI-native Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) platform. Verdantis’s super-agent orchestrates nine specialized AI agents across the decisions that decide plant uptime: spare parts, criticality, demand, reorder, and work order planning. These decisions set working capital, maintenance spend, and whether a critical asset runs and, in most plants, they are still made in spreadsheets and disconnected systems. The positioning is for the teams who own uptime - maintenance, reliability, and MRO supply chain leaders in oil and gas, mining, utilities, chemicals, and manufacturing. And it reflects an AI-first architecture: agents decide and act by default; people supervise, override, and teach the system. Every human override creates feedback that helps the system learn. That principle
