RightShip’s new safety platform goes live

The new platform, two years in the making, will replace the existing Qi platform which is currently ‘read-only’ before its removal on 15 February.

Steen Lund, chief executive of RightShip, said that involvement and feedback from a wide range of stakeholders had been essential to the successfully delivery of the new platform. “We believe the new Safety Score is a product that will make significant changes to the way shipping operates and lead to greater safety, sustainability and welfare outcomes,” he said.

“It is an important step in our digitisation process. With all communication housed on one platform, we believe it will enhance efficiency and transparency for our customers and we wish to thank the industry for its feedback and support in the development and implementation,” he added.

The Safety Score ensures there are minimum standards that all vessels must meet, as well as clear actions to take to improve a vessel’s score. This creates a level playing field for all vessels and provides a clearer pathway for improvement at all levels of the Safety Score.

It also supports RightShip’s vetting customers, including charterers, ports and terminals, by providing key insights on a vessel or operator’s performance as the first step in their due diligence process.
