Windward and RightShip Partner to Enable ESG Transparency & Comprehensive Risk Management for Chartering Operations

Windward's Maritime AI risk insights will be integrated with RightShip's ESG and safety platform, enabling safe, compliant, and sustainable chartering operations 

LONDON, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Windward (LSE: WNWD), the leading Maritime AI™ company, and RightShip, the leading Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) focused digital maritime platform, announced today a partnership to enable cross platform data sharing. The partnership will see Windward's sanctions insights integrated into RightShip's platform and vetting workflow.

The partnership aims to address the growing challenges faced by the maritime industry, including regulatory compliance, safety concerns related to the "dark fleet," and ESG pressures by providing comprehensive visibility in both pre and post fixture operations.

Rightship's customers will now have the option to access Windward's cutting edge AI-powered insights, including all deceptive shipping practices such as STS meetings, dark activities, and GNSS manipulation along with the existing comprehensive ESG and safety data. This provides an unparalleled solution for safe, compliant, and sustainable chartering workflows. Second and third lines of defense will be able to use the Windward platform for deeper investigations into vessels flagged during the screening process. Additionally, Windward vessel reports will be available on demand in the RightStore.

This integration enhances efficiency and risk assessment by offering multi-source insights from both RightShip and Windward. Customers can access tailored risk insights, including Windward's recently launched Organization Defined Risk, via the RightShip platform for comprehensive pre-fixture screening and post-fixture monitoring, ensuring the safe delivery of cargo.

Steen Brodsgaard Lund, Chief Executive Officer of RightShip, stated: "RightShip is committed to enhancing the safety and sustainability of the maritime value chain and increasing transparency to empower our customers to make informed decisions.
