Due Diligence Hub

Marine Assurance Workflows for Defensible Risk Decisions

Due Diligence Hub is a configurable workflow solution that helps charterers, traders, and terminals manage vessel risk evaluations with greater consistency and control. By automating manual checks, centralising documentation, and applying organisation-specific risk criteria, teams can streamline approvals and make faster, more informed decisions.

The Challenge

Complexities of Vessel Assurance Process

Manual Clearance Processes Slow Decisions Vessel evaluations often rely on manual reviews, disconnected systems, and repetitive checks, creating unnecessary effort and slowing approval timelines.
Fragmented Information Reduces Visibility Critical vessel information is frequently spread across emails, spreadsheets, and multiple platforms, making it difficult to maintain a complete view of risk.
Limited Collaboration Creates Bottlenecks Without a structured workflow, communication between stakeholders can become fragmented, delaying decisions and reducing confidence in vessel approvals.

The Challenge

Complexities of Vessel Assurance Process

Vessel Clearance Inefficiency Dilutes Expert Capacity High‑risk vessel approvals rely on manual checks and fragmented inputs, pulling critical expertise away from decision‑making into administration.
Manual Gaps Undermine Marine Assurance Disconnected workflows and manual processes increase the risk of missed red flags, exposing the organisation to safety, compliance, and detention outcomes.
One Failure Can Trigger Major Consequences A single clearance misstep can cascade into detentions, supply chain disruption, and heightened investor or regulatory scrutiny—with lasting reputational and financial consequences.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Due Diligence Hub different from your traditional vetting service?

Traditional vetting is a service we provide — we conduct the risk assessment and deliver a RightShip outcome. 

The Due Diligence Hub is a workflow tool that enables you to run your own due diligence process internally, using your own risk criteria and workflows.

Do I need to choose between Due Diligence Hub and RightShip Vetting? No — these solutions are designed for different situations and can work together to fit your specific risk management approach.
How is this different from what we already use internally?

Many internal processes rely on a combination of email, spreadsheets, siloed documents, and informal communication channels. 

The Due Diligence Hub consolidates and structures the due diligence process in one platform. On top of that, it also has automations, real-time tracking and most importantly, integrated access to RightShip’s trusted data.  

How is the data sourced and verified?

The data within the Due Diligence Hub is sourced from a combination of trusted external providers—including AIS data, S&P Global, and IHS—as well as directly from ship owners and managers. Once collected, this information is rigorously verified by our in-house subject matter experts to ensure accuracy, relevance, and reliability. This two-tiered approach—combining credible data sources with expert validation—ensures that users can make confident, well-informed decisions based on high-quality insights.
