Lesley Bankes-HughesThe ESG-focused maritime digital platform, RightShip, has established the RightPORT team as a single source of contact for all stakeholders involved in the port-to-port supply chain.
The RightPORT team’s focus is on providing the global network of ports and terminals with instant access to information on vessel safety, crew welfare, and environmental issues in one centralised location. According to RightShip, the new team will give ports and terminals operators ‘access to high calibre tools on par with those enjoyed by its existing customer base of charterers and financiers.’
Yucel Yildiz, Ports and Terminals Manager at RightShip, commented: ‘RightShip’s ambition is a zero-harm maritime industry. With more than 40 ports already taking advantage of the ESG solutions provided by RightShip, this announcement formalises our commitment to extend data-led solutions to the breadth of the industry.
‘Ports and terminals are the critical points that connect the maritime world with onshore economies and communities – and that concentrate marine activity in contained areas. They are therefore crucial to our ambition, and our port and terminal team will ensure they have the data, expertise and tools to realise their ESG responsibilities and commitments.’
RightShip’s team will improve access to crucial information that will allow operators to improve safety, reliability and environmental performance. For example, RightShip’s Marine Emissions Portal (MEP) allows port and terminal operators to assess the emissions profile of arriving and departing vessels. This data can then be used to report, or to create incentive programmes, such as by offering discounted port fees for lower-emissions vessels.
