RightShip, a digital maritime platform, has announced a partnership with Napier Port to implement RightShip’s innovative RightPort risk solution at the New Zealand port.
This agreement will make Napier the first port in the region to adopt the cutting-edge technology, which aims to enhance maritime safety and sustainability.
RightPort is a digital solution that screens inbound vessels against risk-based criteria tailored to a port’s requirements. It reportedly enables ports and terminals to streamline their pre-arrival processes, reduce administrative workload, and improve communication with vessels.
RightPort also connects users to a global network of ports, allowing them to access feedback reports and vessel insights from other ports and terminals.

More recently, RightShip joined forces with the International Cargo Handling Organisation (ICHCA).
