Where all your safety solutions come together   

Dry bulk inspections with RightShip’s Inspection Ship Questionnaire (RISQ) 

RightShip dry inspections evaluate a ship's condition, quality and the effectiveness of Safety Management System (SMS) implementation, adoption of industry recommendations and best practices, and the health and well-being of seafarers onboard.  
 
Supporting the maritime industry's ongoing efforts to enhance safety and assisting clients to verify that a vessel conforms with international regulations and performs in accordance with industry standards, this one-of-a-kind inspection provides charterers, ship managers, terminal operators, and regulatory authorities with a credible and independent assessment of a ship’s operation. 
 
All inspections are undertaken by trained and accredited inspectors, who apply a standardised inspection methodology to deliver consistent outcomes. 

Outcomes of a RightShip dry inspection reflect the actual condition and standard of operation of a vessel at the time of inspection. Such inspections, along with the vetting process, allow for assessment of risk, controls, and provision of due diligence to assist our clients and stakeholders, including charterers, ports, and terminal operators.  

 
Planning for an inspection 
 
We recommend managers plan for inspections well in advance, by submitting a request with a vessel’s forward itinerary at least one month prior to the requested inspection date. This will allow for optimal planning and scheduling. 
 
RightShip inspects in many ports around the world and will work with ship managers to find a suitable and safe location to undertake the inspection. There are, however, some locations where safe access may be limited. In these cases, our Inspections team will work with a manager to find suitable alternate locations. 

In addition to standard RISQ inspections, RightShip offers two other inspection types: hybrid and dual. These are designed to digitalise our inspections program and save time onboard the vessel. Read more here.
