RightShip conducts inspections to evaluate a ship’s condition, quality and the effectiveness of Safety Management System (SMS) implementation, adoption of industry recommendations and best practices, and the health and well-being of seafarers onboard.
RightShip’s Inspection Ship Questionnaire (RISQ)
The RightShip Inspection Ship Questionnaire (RISQ), is designed to strengthen the consistency and quality of inspections and includes verification of Safety Management System (SMS) effectiveness, ship condition, crew familiarity with the SMS, industry recommendations and best practices.
For inspection purposes, the vessels covered in RightShip’s inspections are now grouped into four categories:
• Bulk carriers that are carrying sold bulk cargoes other than grain
• Bulk carrier that are carrying grain cargoes
• General cargo ships that are carrying general and/or container cargoes
• Container ships that are carrying container cargoes
At the end of the inspection RightShip will provide a Safety Score which benchmarks a vessel against others of its type and see where each vessel is placed in its peer group and its impact on one’s risk profile.
