Safety Score Hybrid rules DOC Subscore Update
We have introduced several updates to enhance the visibility and management of DOC Subscores across the platform, focusing on the DOC Hybrid rules and their definitions related to Category A (Cat A) incidents. These changes are designed with the goal of ensuring fair impact on DOC Subscores across all fleet sizes, while staying true to our Zero Harm ethos.
Key Updates:
New DOC Subscore Column: A new DOC Subscore column has been added to the Companies page, positioned between the Name and Country columns. If a hybrid rule is triggered for a DOC, an icon will appear next to the DOC Subscore. Hovering over this icon will display the message "DOC Subscore rules invoked." The specific hybrid rules that can be triggered are:
CAT-A | Open | Closed | Applicability |
0-6 months | Max 3/5 | Max 3/5 | All current CAT-A Incidents |
6-12 months | Max 3/5 | Max 4/5 |
|
12-24 months | Max 3/5 | Max 4/5 |
|
24-36 months | Max 3/5 | No Limit | Only new CAT-A Incidents entering this time window after 28th August 2024
CAT-A already in these time windows are exempted. |
36-48 months | Max 3/5 | No Limit |
|
48-60 months | Max 3/5 | No Limit |

Improved Filtering: On the DOC Fleet page, new filters for "All Activity" and "Activity Affecting DOC Subscore" are now available, enabling users to better manage and view activities that impact the DOC Subscore.
Additional Insights:
Different Treatment of 0-24 Month and 24-60 Month Cat A Incidents: Incidents within the 0-24 month window require closeout as a prerequisite for a RightShip vetting nomination. This approach ensures that more recent and unresolved incidents are treated differently than those in the past, reflecting their potential impact on current operations.
Steps if Your DOC is Impacted by the DOC Subscore Hybrid Rule: If your DOC is affected by this rule, conduct a thorough review of the circumstances leading to the incident. When ready, submit a comprehensive incident investigation report detailing the key findings and actions taken to prevent recurrence. For guidance, refer to our Best Practice Incident Investigations guide.
Why Open/Closed Status Doesn't Impact the 0-6 Month Period:
Cat A incidents are serious events often involving severe injury, loss of life, or major pollution. It’s crucial that thorough and professional incident investigations are conducted to learn from these tragedies. A rushed investigation is never acceptable, and adequate time must be taken to ensure all lessons are properly learned.
