RightShip Inspection Grace Period - A 15-day grace period applies where the vessel approaches an age trigger for the first time or has an existing inspection that is about to expire, provided a forward application for inspection is made before reaching the trigger date or expiry date. Where the application is made after the safety score has been downrated having passed the age trigger date or date of expiry then no grace period will be allowed.
Post Inspection Safety Score Reinstatement – When the physical part of a RightShip Inspection has been completed and Findings issued, the RightShip Inspection age trigger System Rules will be suppressed for a period of up to 20 days from the date of the inspection. This is to provide ample time for vessel owners/managers to prepare and submit a comprehensive Inspection closeout report and for the RightShip Inspections team to conclude the full inspection review process, without adversely impacting a vessel’s Safety Score and creating time pressure which can lead to less than adequate closeout submissions. Note: This Post Inspection Safety Score Reinstatement provision does not apply if the last RightShip Inspection was marked UNACCEPTABLE or if the total number of recorded Findings exceeds 30. In these cases the vessel’s Safety Score will not be automatically reinstated until the full inspection review process has been concluded and inspection validity awarded.
SS2-17 – Re-Inspection Requirements – Where SS2-17 has been triggered the vessel DOC Company will be notified of the need to complete a RightShip Inspection in order to reinstate the vessel’s Safety Score. In cases where a RightShip Inspection has been completed but the outcome is considered to be below average, with a validity outcome of 6 months or less being provided, SS2-17 will reactivate upon expiry of the inspections validity.
System Rule Logic does not cover cases where there has been a DOC Company Change. In cases where a System Rule has been applied but relevant events have occurred while the vessel was under the technical management of a completely different DOC Company you should contact info@rightship.com and the case will be reviewed.
