Handy Size Dry Inspection Process Change
RightShip is committed to achieving with our customers a safer and cleaner maritime environment. We continually strive for improvements through research, analysis, and experience gained over time. We believe that inspection and physical validation of a ships condition and the ships application of management systems forms an important part of the risk management process.
To that end, effective from 01 October 2011 dry bulk handy size vessels in the range 8,000 dwt to 60,000 dwt, aged 18 years and above will require an annual RightShip inspection as part of the vetting program. This is a change from the current 25 year age trigger and brings the handy size vessels in-line with other RightShip dry bulk vessel size groups. There is a grace period from 01 October 2011 to 01 October 2012 for the implementation of this change.
