Revenue model

1. Platform Subscription & Licensing: RightShip operates primarily on a subscription and service fee model. Customers (shipowners, charterers, ports, terminals, financial institutions) pay for access to the RightShip Platform, vessel vetting services, emissions ratings, and due diligence tools. The platform supports multiple user roles (shipowners, charterers, ports/terminals, financial) with tiered access.
2. Environmental Review & Verification Services: Fees for submitting GHG Rating verifications, EEXI/EEDI documentation reviews, CII certificate submissions, and energy saving equipment verifications through the platform.
3. Management Audit Services: Fees charged for management audits conducted by RightShip's assessors, where shipowners and managers are evaluated against selected industry ESG frameworks.
4. Data & API Access: Revenue from API integrations and data access, allowing third-party systems to embed RightShip services such as Trade Check, Pre-Arrival Check, and Vessel Health Check directly into customer workflows.
