Rightship Training Program

The Rightship (RISQ V3.2) Dry Inspection program aims to evaluate the quality and operational readiness of vessels by ensuring compliance with safety standards, statutory requirements, industry recommendations, and best practices.

Rigthship V3.2

Applicable for bulk carriers, general cargo, containers and roll-on/roll-off ships, the Rightship Inspection Ship Questionnaire (RISQ) provides the world’s most comprehensive and consolidated inspection reference standard for dry bulk shipping.

While assisting a ship manager to prepare a vessel for inspection, RISQ also supports inspectors to conduct inspections in a systematic and standardised manner, by applying a unified methodology, guiding them to more accurately report on the quality of a vessel and its crew.

Implementation of RISQ is statistically proven to improve Port State Inspection outcomes and reduce incidents.

Rightship Webtraining

Far from a theoretical overview, this event will focus on practical applications and real inspection examples.

Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of:

Key findings from RISQ 3.2 and what they mean for operations.
Common pitfalls identified during vessel inspections and how to avoid them.
Steps to resolve issues efficiently and achieve higher inspection scores.
