The Safety Score allows a grace period for incidents, giving managers time to verify incident information and prepare a close-out before the Safety Score is affected.

Vetting rules still apply to the incident as normal. This means that incidents with an active grace period will still be taken into account by the vetting rules, albeit not impacting the Safety Score and DOC Subscore.

Duration of the Grace Period:

The grace period begins at the time the incident is created in the Platform. The duration of the grace period depends on whether the vessel DOC is a non-RightShip customer or a RightShip customer. Non-RightShip customers receive a 7-day grace period, while RightShip customers receive a 14 day grace period, excluding the waiting time for RightShip to review the incident.

Impact on the Safety Score and DOC Subscore:

During the grace period, the incident does not affect the Safety Score and DOC Subscore. However, to indicate that there is an incident with an active grace period, a clock symbol is displayed next to the Safety Score and DOC Subscore.

Visibility of Incidents with an active grace period:

While the grace period is in effect, incidents with an active grace period will be visibly displayed on the vessel timeline and activities similar to incidents without an active grace period. The incident Severity category will not show on the incident overview while the grace period is active.

Expiration of the Grace Period:

Once the grace period duration expires, the incident will impact the Safety Score and DOC Subscore based on the incident severity category. Completion of an incident review will also mark the expiration of the grace period.
