RightShip Updates Vessel Inspection Age Criteria

Effective from March 31, 2025, RightShip will implement a phased reduction in the age at which Dry Bulk and General Cargo vessels are required to undergo inspections. This change aims to enhance safety standards across the maritime industry.

Key Phases:

  • Phase 1 (2025): Inspection age reduced from 14 years to 12 years.
  • Phase 2 (2026): Further reduction to 10 years.

3. Does this policy apply to all vessel sizes?

Yes, in addition to our standards change to reduce the inspection age criteria for vessels above 8,000 DWT, RightShip is removing the current criteria for vessels at 8,000 DWT and below, that requires an inspection from 25 years. From March 2025, the standard is now consistent across the global Dry Bulk and General Cargo fleet.

This update reflects RightShip's commitment to improving safety and operational excellence. Ensure your fleet is prepared for these changes to maintain compliance and safety.
