A spat between maritime authorities and RightShip over a safety rating downgrade of Dutch-flag ships appears to have influenced the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on port state control (Paris MoU) to consider withholding raw data from the Australian company.
TradeWinds reported last week that the Paris MoU has decided to review the provision of port state control (PSC) data to third-party distributor IHS Markit, which sells it on to RightShip and other safety organisations.
