RightShip is set to more than double the number of vetting items it uses in yet another upgrade of its ship-assessment system, which has gone through several major changes over recent years.

The ship-vetting agency said that from 30 June this year, it will increase the number of items it uses to assess ships from 20 to 50. The company said charterers could apply the new vetting items before they are officially launched by RightShip.
