About RightShip

At RightShip we provide expertise in global safety, sustainability and social responsibility best practice to the maritime industry.

Our unrivalled combination of years of seafaring expertise, vast access to data, analytics and an intuitive digital platform means we offer pertinent, balanced insights to our customer across the maritime ecosystem, supporting them on a journey to zero harm.

By this we mean zero harm to ships, to the cargo those ships carry, to the seafarers diligently carrying out their duties on board, and of course, zero harm to the environment the vessels are trading in.

Actively incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) metrics spanning marine emissions and pollution, crew welfare and ship safety into the solutions we offer, are all essential elements of a zero harm vision.

We’re dedicated to supporting our customers to meet government and industry emission reduction targets, decarbonisation and air quality initiatives through our GHG rating, Carbon Accounting tool and Maritime Emissions Portal.

Our Safety Score, vettings and inspections services highlight the importance of good safety practices on board and support the industry in striving for excellence.

Finally, our Crew Welfare Self-Assessment demonstrates the ambition that weaves through everything we do - that each seafarer should return home safely from their voyage, thanks to well-managed working environments supporting the health and wellbeing of every crew member.

At RightShip, we’ve seen an increasing demand for transparency and verifiable data. Our insights, and the truth they provide are collated and measured by our experts. Vitally, this means that those results can also be managed, allowing the maritime industry certainty that it’s making progress towards a safe, sustainable and socially conscious future.
