About the Event

RightShip was present at the 16th Annual Capital Link Operational Excellence in Shipping Forum, where a broad spectrum of stakeholders—from shipping companies, charterers, and ship managers to classification societies, flag registries, P&I Clubs, government and non-government bodies, technology and service providers, and the financial & investment community gathered to foster collaboration and share knowledge for sustainable development within the maritime sector.

Our team explored how digital platforms and AI, combined with trusted standards, rich maritime data and industry expertise can enable better risk management and stronger decision-making, translating into tangible commercial outcomes for shipowners and managers.

Key Takeaway: Why Join


Smarter Risk Management in an Increasingly Complex Maritime Environment

Gain practical insight into how maritime risk management is shifting from static, compliance-led processes to dynamic, data-enabled decision-making. Through real-world perspectives from charterers, owners, operators and technology leaders, attendees will explore how better use of data, AI and transparency can improve due diligence, inspection readiness and risk mitigation. Expect open discussion on what’s working, what isn’t, and how the industry can move faster without adding unnecessary complexity.


Safety, Sustainability and Crew Welfare — Practical, Commercial and Actionable

Move beyond the idea that safety, sustainability and crew welfare are simply “good to do” — and examine how they are commercially relevant, operationally achievable and value-generating. This forum will explore how addressing high-risk safety issues, improving inspection outcomes, adopting energy-efficiency measures and reducing operational burden on crews directly supports cost control, reliability and business performance. Attendees will engage in candid conversations on how leading organisations are embedding these priorities into day-to-day operations — not as add-ons, but as enablers of better commercial outcomes.

 


What It Takes to Make Data Actionable

Understand what is required to move from collecting data to building trust in decisions and outcomes.Attendees will explore how transparency, data quality, standardisation and collaboration enable organisations to rely on shared insights with confidence. Through open discussion, participants will examine where trust breaks down today, how leading organisations are addressing these gaps, and what practical steps are needed to turn data into trusted, decision-ready intelligence across the maritime supply chain. 


RightShip spoke at Capital Link Operational Excellence in Shipping Forum

From Data to Value: Can you Trust the Intelligence behind the Decision?

6 October 2026 | 10:20 – 10:30

The value of maritime intelligence depends on whether the data behind it can be trusted. Trusted, standardised data provides the foundation for reliable insights and effective AI adoption — reducing friction and strengthening confidence in the decisions that follow.
In this 10-minute session, RightShip’s CEO Steen Lund explored how trusted data, industry expertise and AI can come together to surface meaningful patterns, benchmarks and risk signals. He examined how more actionable intelligence can enable faster, more confident decisions across the maritime value chain — helping owners and managers better manage risk, strengthen performance and ultimately translate data into tangible commercial value.
