RightShip is pleased to welcome Riken Keiki to the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program, strengthening our shared commitment to improving safety outcomes across the maritime industry. Riken Keiki brings decades of expertise in industrial gas detection and monitoring, delivering advanced technologies designed to protect crew and vessels from invisible atmospheric hazards.
This partnership reflects a continued industry focus on proactive risk management—particularly in addressing gas-related dangers that remain a persistent threat in maritime operations.
Riken Keiki joined the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program to align with RightShip’s vision of a safer, more transparent maritime industry. By combining their gas detection expertise with RightShip’s global platform, the collaboration supports wider adoption of technologies that help prevent incidents before they occur.
With a mission to create environments where people can work with peace of mind, Riken Keiki develops safety solutions used across high-risk industries including maritime, petrochemical and semiconductor sectors. Their approach centres on accuracy, reliability and ease of use—ensuring critical safety tools remain effective even in demanding operational conditions.
Through the program, Riken Keiki joins a broader network of organisations working to strengthen safety standards, share knowledge and support continuous improvement across global fleets.
Gas hazards—such as oxygen deficiency and toxic gas accumulation—pose serious risks, particularly in confined spaces like cargo tanks and engine rooms. These dangers are often undetectable without specialised equipment, increasing the likelihood of incidents if not managed effectively.
Riken Keiki’s GX-3R and GX-9000 portable gas monitors are designed to provide continuous, real-time detection of hazardous gases. Using advanced sensor technologies, including electrochemical, catalytic combustion and non-dispersive infrared (NDIR), the devices deliver precise readings of atmospheric conditions onboard.
When safety thresholds are exceeded, immediate alerts—through audible alarms, flashing lights and vibration—enable crews to respond quickly and take appropriate action.
Engineered for maritime environments, the devices balance compact form with durability and long battery life, ensuring usability without compromising performance. Their development addressed challenges such as humidity and salt corrosion, supporting consistent accuracy in harsh onboard conditions.
A key focus of Riken Keiki’s solutions is improving visibility of risk. By providing real-time monitoring and reducing reliance on manual checks, their technology supports earlier detection and more informed decision-making.
This shift towards proactive safety aligns closely with the Zero Harm ambition—helping operators move from reactive responses to preventative action. By making unseen hazards measurable and actionable, gas detection technologies play a critical role in strengthening onboard safety practices.
Through participation in the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program, Riken Keiki aims to expand access to advanced gas detection solutions and contribute to a stronger safety culture across the maritime industry. Through this partnership, they seek to support shipowners and operators in adopting more effective approaches to managing onboard risk.
As the maritime industry continues to prioritise safety and risk prevention, collaboration between technology providers and industry platforms remains essential. Partnerships like this help accelerate the adoption of practical solutions that improve day-to-day operations and long-term safety outcomes.
We are pleased to welcome Riken Keiki to the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program and look forward to working together to support safer, more resilient maritime operations.
If your innovation has the potential to redefine the maritime industry, we invite you to submit your application and become part of a global movement towards a safer, greener future.
