RightShip’s new ‘Due Diligence Hub’ Empowers In-House Vetting Teams with Faster, Smarter Risk Assurance

RightShip  announces the launch of Due Diligence Hub, a new product purpose-built for charterers with in-house vetting or risk assurance teams who want to stay in full control of their risk management decisions more efficiently.

Drawing on more than two decades of expertise in vessel vetting and maritime risk assurance, Due Diligence Hub represents the next step in RightShip’s evolution from a vetting service provider into a technology partner—one that puts powerful tools directly in the hands of those managing their unique risk profiles, delivering intelligence and enabling faster, more confident decisions in an increasingly complex operating environment.

RightShip’s new Due Diligence Hub is a smart, flexible workflow tool that empowers charterers, traders, terminals, and others to stay firmly in control of their vessel evaluation and risk management processes—from setting internal risk criteria to making the final decision on vessel suitability. By combining trusted RightShip data, the new product enables users to streamline workflows, reduce manual work, centralise documentation, and gain full visibility into risk factors—leading to more efficient risk management.

Its highly customisable workflows and AI-enabled efficiencies make it suitable not only for the dry bulk segment — where RightShip has long been an established leader — but also position the company to better serve the chemicals and oil & gas sectors as they look for more efficient risk management.

At the heart of Due Diligence Hub is RightShip’s use of Agentic AI—that handles time-consuming, repetitive checks in the background. This frees in-house teams to focus on the complex, high-value decisions where human expertise makes the difference.

“The Due Diligence Hub has been shaped through close collaboration with our stakeholders who know exactly where the bottlenecks are,” said Marlon Grech, Chief Technology and Product Officer at RightShip. “Our goal was to build a product that fits seamlessly into our customers’ workflows, uses AI to take the pain out of repetitive tasks, and ultimately makes day-to-day risk management faster, clearer, and more effective.”

The tool combines RightShip’s trusted data with flexible workflows that adapt to each customer’s internal policies. Users can build and apply custom risk criteria, automate repetitive tasks, maintain full audit trails, and collaborate seamlessly across teams—all in one place.

“Our customers’ needs and workflows are evolving fast, and our solutions must evolve with them,” said Saurabh Dasgupta, Chief Commercial Officer at RightShip. “With Due Diligence Hub, we’re giving charterers and terminals — across dry bulk and other segments like chemicals and oil & gas — the flexibility to manage risk their way, while ensuring safety remains at the heart of every decision. It’s about striking the right balance between agility and assurance, so our customers can stay ahead with confidence.”

The result is faster, more transparent decisions without compromising on rigour.

The launch marks another milestone in RightShip’s evolution as a leader in driving safer, more sustainable, and more efficient risk management. RightShip is harnessing the power of AI and the industry’s richest and trusted data and expertise to enable real-time, proactive risk management—putting customers firmly in the driver’s seat.
