On the final day of INTERMODAL South America, Portos RS and RightShip signed a partnership to implement RightPORT Risk Solutions, a cutting-edge risk management solution for ports and terminals.
Portos RS manages three public ports: Rio Grande, Pelotas, and Porto Alegre, in addition to 17 terminals, and its adoption of RightPORT will make it a leader in the Latin American region for proactive assessment and management of vessel-based risk.
Designed by RightShip’s ports and terminals-focused taskforce, RightPORT is a comprehensive risk management solution that transforms pre-arrival preparations and enhances operational efficiency in-port. Key to the tool’s effectiveness is its use of RightShip’s comprehensive database of maritime vessels, incidents, and companies, which is rigorously verified and regularly updated. Using this data, RightPORT screens inbound vessels against customisable risk-based criteria, while digital forms and questionnaires ensure rapid and effective communication between ship and port.
At its heart, RightPORT Risk Solutions is designed to remove the unknown and give ports full visibility of the risk profiles of incoming vessels, enabling them to prepare effectively in advance.
