RightShip, the maritime risk management and environmental assessment organisation, announced it has appointed its new CEO, Martin Crawford-Brunt, who will replace outgoing CEO Warwick Norman. Mr. Crawford-Brunt takes up his new post on 12 March 2018 and will initially be based at RightShip's London office.

RightShip said that it is currently working with AUSMEPA to deliver a prototype Maritime Emissions Portal with the assistance from Rio Tinto  to identify a suitable trial port within their network.

Warwick Norman, CEO, Rightship, talked about the vetting evolution over the last twenty years at the 2017 SAFETY4SEA Conference. Capt. Norman said that the motivation for the creation of RightShip was largely a desire to improve safety standards, in particular around the cape fleet where both BHP & Rio shared a common risk.

RightShip and The Nautical Institute are now partnering with a number of industry peak bodies in the preparation and peer review of a proposed guide which will feature best practices to raise standards in the marine solid bulk cargo sector. RightShip notes that currently there is no ISGOTT equivalent in the solid bulk cargo sector and believes that this initiative will have a direct and positive influence on safety.

Effective 01 January 2018 RightShip's age trigger for a bulk carrier inspection for vessels over 8,000 dwt will change from 18 years to 14 years, after which an annual acceptable RightShip inspection will be required, according to the company. The observations of Inspectors feeds back into the vetting process, providing critical control to improve safety.

RightShip, provider of comprehensive online maritime safety and environmental risk management system, announced that is the latest company to join the Sustainable Shipping Initiative, coalition of companies from across the global shipping industry.

After 16 years at the helm of the online vetting organisation RightShip, CEO, Captain Warwick Norman, decided to step aside. He will be retained as a strategic consultant to RightShip, assisting with the transition to a new CEO and continuing to build on his legacy of innovation in maritime safety and sustainability.

TRACE International and RightShip have announced their agreement to work together to support anti-bribery compliance in the maritime industry through Tracecertification of vessel owners.

The Green Award Foundation and RightShip announced their intention to increase collaboration to promote safe, sustainable shipping. Recently, Green Award Executive Director Jan Fransen and RightShip CEO Warwick Norman signed an agreement to strengthen the recognition given to Green Award members in RightShip’s new online vetting platform, RightShip Qi.

RightShip in association with SAFETY4SEA has successfully held a couple of identical events on the use of predictive analytics in ship vetting on Tuesday, May 17th, 2016 in Athens Ledra Hotel, attracting 350 delegates from the vibrant Hellenic ship management community.
