When is inspection required for dry bulk vessels?
Many vessels are vetted and approved without the need for an inspection. These are the cases in which RightShip requires a physical inspection of the ship by experienced inspectors before it will consider recommending the vessel as suitable for our customers: · All high risk vessels (as rated by the online vetting system) · A vessel that has recorded a detention resulting (or likely to result) in prosecution subsequent to MARPOL or SOLAS infringement · A vessel that has had a change of owner or manager · A vessel that has undergone major repairs or modifications · All Cape vessels at 18 years of age (inspection has 12 month validity) · All Panamax vessels at 18 years of age (inspection has 12 month validity) · All Handy vessels at 25 years of age (12 month validity) · Vessels which meet other criteria set by individual customers, or which a customer asks to be inspected.
