Software Ship Inspection Safety

Category:

Safety Procedures

Description:

In 1994 Lloyds Register developed software called "Ship Right," which addressed ship safety at

the design and construction stages and through a vessel's service life. The new (April 1998)

program "Ship Right IS" is an updated and expanded version of "Ship Right"

Uses Microsoft Windows for flexible interface.

Application:

USACE currently uses USCG, ABS, or independent marine surveyors for dredging plant safety

issues. "Ship Right IS" would improve current program by putting all safety issues in a single

database, thus eliminating costly rule duplication and differences, which would reduce inspection

and reporting time. Create dredge database if Lloyds hasn't already done so.
