New Member : RightShip Joins SSI

LONDON, 30 March 2017 - The Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) today introduces its newest member, RightShip.

RightShip is committed to improving safety and environmental standards within the shipping industry, using its vetting platform to support the removal of sub-standard ships from the supply chain, creating a safer fleet and improving seafarer welfare. The company has developed a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Rating (GHG Rating), which is now used on one in every five vessels chartered worldwide. The GHG Rating compares the theoretical CO2 emissions of ships of a similar size and type, increasing transparency and allowing charterers to factor sustainability into their vessel selection process. A carbon-neutral organisation, RightShip also offers customers the ability to measure and offset the carbon emissions of their own shipping operations.
