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.

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.
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.

      ● Ship owners, deck and engine officers, operators, managers, superintendents, marine
       personnel, and anyone involved in vessel vetting and compliance with Rightship requirements

      ● Ship Masters and Chief Mates preparing for promotion, as well as Masters responsible for
       managing Rightship inspections and vessel vetting requirements.

RISQ 3.2 Training & Guidance Details

What does the RISQ 3.2 training cover?

Our program provides a deep dive into all 17 chapters of the RightShip Inspection Ship Questionnaire. We focus on the shift from 'Prescriptive' to 'Risk-Based' inspections and how to document compliance effectively.

Who should attend this course?

The course is designed for Designated Persons Ashore (DPA), Technical Superintendents, Masters, and Senior Officers who are responsible for maintaining a vessel's RightShip Safety Score.

Is the training conducted on-board?

Yes. We offer both in-person classroom sessions and on-board practical guidance. On-board training is highly recommended as it allows us to bridge the gap between SMS and actual equipment condition.

Will a certificate be issued?

Successful participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance from PAMS, documenting their completion of the 2-day RISQ 3.2 technical guidance program.
