RightShip Inspection Readiness

A pre-inspection technical attendance for dry-bulk vessels facing a RightShip RISQ inspection, focused on engine room and structural condition, record-keeping, and the follow-up items most likely to influence a vessel's Safety Score.

RISQ stands for RightShip Inspection Ship Questionnaire — the structured physical inspection RightShip-approved inspectors carry out aboard a vessel, covering machinery condition, structural integrity, safety management, and crew competency.

A risk indicator RightShip assigns to a vessel, drawing on inspection history, incident and detention records, and vessel particulars. Charterers, terminals, and mining houses commonly use it to screen vessels before accepting them for a fixture or berth.

Common triggers include vessel age, gaps since the last inspection, a change of operator or flag, an adverse Port State Control record, or a specific request from a charterer or terminal ahead of a fixture requiring RightShip acceptance.

No. Apeks Marine & Engineering is not an official RightShip inspector and is not affiliated with RightShip. This is a pre-RISQ technical attendance carried out ahead of, and separate from, the official inspection, and it does not determine or influence the resulting Safety Score.

Shipowners and technical managers of dry-bulk vessels wanting an engine-room-level check before a RISQ inspection window, particularly where a fixture depends on the vessel clearing a charterer's or terminal's RightShip acceptance criteria.

For vessels calling Mersin, Adana, or İskenderun, attendance can typically be arranged on short notice ahead of an inspection window; for wider Türkiye-based assignments, timing is subject to scope and schedule.
