How does RightShip’s rating system work?
RightShip’s system uses a computer-based algorithm to evaluate data under around 50 separate risk factors. It uses this data to deliver a rating which shows whether, at the time to the vet is done, the overall level of risk of the vessel for the nominated task is considered low or high. The rating is in the form of stars, from one (highest risk) to five (lowest risk). A ship rated three stars or more is generally passed without further review, while a vessel rated one or two stars will generally need closer examination, often including a physical inspection, before RightShip will pass it as an acceptable risk. It is very important to remember that while RightShip’s rating shows the risk profile of a vessel, and is based on solid data and proven analysis, it is not a definitive indicator of the vessel’s suitability. Rather, it indicates the extent of review and follow-up with owners that may be required for the ship to be passed as an acceptable risk. It is possible for ship the system
