RightShip has announced a partnership with Napier Ports to bring RightShip’s innovative RightPort risk solution to New Zealand ports. The agreement will make Napier the first port in New Zealand to implement this breakthrough technology, which aims to improve maritime safety and sustainability. RightPort is an innovative digital solution that screens incoming vessels using risk-based criteria tailored to a port’s needs. This allows ports and terminals to streamline pre-arrival processes, reduce administrative burden, and improve communications with ships.

RightPort helps us further improve our operational efficiency, safety standards, and environmental performance. It also supports our vision to be a long-term partner for our customers and communities by providing reliable, resilient, and sustainable port services. Said Todd Dawson, managing director of Napier Port.
