Today, technology and collaboration are the unstoppable enablers helping us achieve this mission. We recognise that vessel owners and managers face increasing pressure to navigate complex risks while maintaining high standards of safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility.
The challenge is significant — but the opportunities to drive change are equally vast.
To discuss the role of these enablers, we convened industry leaders, partners, and innovators, on 13th November 2024 in Singapore to exchange ideas and explore the future of maritime safety and sustainability.
Technology as the Backbone of Safer Operations
Data and technology are essential to everything we do at RightShip. As Marlon Grech, Chief Product and Technology Officer, aptly said, "You cannot really improve what you cannot measure." For vessel owners and managers, data availability is not just a convenience—it’s the foundation for meaningful improvements in safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Enhancing Maritime Safety: Insights from Christopher Saunders
Christopher Saunders, Chief Maritime Officer, shared valuable updates on RightShip’s latest initiatives to enhance maritime safety. His session highlighted key changes RightShip has implemented in Safety Score and improvements we are looking at to strengthen transparency, clarity and accuracy.
These updates reflect RightShip’s commitment to evolving with the industry’s needs, ensuring that stakeholders are equipped with the best tools to prioritise safety and sustainability.
Collaboration: The Key to Advancing Maritime Safety and Sustainability
While technologies empower us to monitor, predict, and mitigate risks with unprecedented precision, collaboration fosters a unified approach, enabling us to share knowledge, resources, and best practices across the industry.
RightShip’s partnerships with industry leaders, innovators, and sustainability advocates have enabled us to collaborate on initiatives that promote safer, more sustainable operations. Programs like the Zero Harm Innovation Partnership Programme aim to connect innovators with vessel owners and managers to test new solutions in real-world settings. These collaborations not only help us pilot new technologies but also foster a culture of shared knowledge and continuous improvement. We had to engaging sessions where our ZHIP’s shared their insights on enhancing safety and crew welfare culture as well as transparency, technology and innovation in the maritime industry.
A Call to Action: Shaping the Future of Maritime Together
The event concluded with a powerful call to action. The journey to Zero Harm is not a destination but a continuous evolution—one fueled by innovation, collaboration, and shared responsibility. At RightShip, we remain dedicated to pushing boundaries, delivering actionable insights, and partnering with you to create a safer, more responsible maritime industry.
