For 25 years, RightShip has helped the maritime industry understand and manage safety and operational risk. Today, we support more than 42,000 marine assurance decisions annually, with 40% involving tanker vessels. Marine assurance for the Oil, Gas and Chemicals sector is a significant part of our work, supporting customers as they assess vessel suitability and manage the risks associated with their trade.
Building on this experience, we have been expanding how we can enable this sector: putting the intelligence behind our assurance work into tools they can use to manage their own assessments. In 2025, we introduced Due Diligence Hub for dry bulk, combining configurable workflows with AI-assisted reviews. We are now extending these capabilities to the distinct requirements of the Oil, Gas and Chemicals sector, drawing on our tanker assurance experience.
Across Oil, Gas and Chemicals, marine assurance brings together vessel inspection findings, operator assessments and terminal approval requirements, with acceptance criteria that vary by cargo, vessel type and trading requirements. Teams must resolve these considerations while commercial commitments are progressing. A delayed clearance can affect a fixture, cargo movement or berthing schedule.
When documentation and communications sit across separate systems, assurance teams spend valuable time gathering evidence, chasing responses and tracking what remains outstanding. Keeping the review moving requires visibility of the work still needed and a consistent way to assess it against the organisation’s risk standards.
Due Diligence Hub is an AI-enabled marine assurance workflow tool that brings risk intelligence, supporting documentation and assessments into one place. It applies an organisation’s acceptance criteria through configured workflows, helping teams manage reviews in line with their risk appetite.
Routine cases progress with minimal manual intervention. Exceptions are identified and escalated for expert review, with supporting evidence available to inform the decision. Records of assessments and outcomes remain connected to the clearance.
This is a practical expression of RightShip’s evolution towards an AI-native approach: embedding AI-assisted evidence review and automation into the work assurance teams carry out every day. Reducing repetitive checks gives specialists more capacity to focus on higher-risk assessments and decisions requiring their judgement. Customers retain control of their acceptance policies and oversight of their assurance process.
Due Diligence Hub helps organisations protect commercial value by identifying risks before commitments are made, accelerating routine assurance reviews and maintaining a traceable decision record. Teams can respond to trading demands while applying their organisation’s risk appetite and acceptance criteria consistently.
