2The main features

First: what is a RightShip inspection?

RightShip is a company that checks ships for safety on behalf of cargo owners and charterers, mostly for dry-bulk ships. Its inspection follows a questionnaire called RISQ (RightShip Inspection Ship Questionnaire); version 3.2 is the one this app follows.

Three ways to see the checklist

4Common questions

Does it work at sea with no internet?

Yes. Open it once with signal and install it (βŠ• Install). After that it opens and saves with no connection.

When does a question count as ready?

Is there a quick start for my rank?

Yes β€” /projects/rightshippro/start has a one-screen start for each rank and a guide for the office.
