In the ever-evolving maritime industry, understanding and managing operational risk has never been more critical.

What is a Shipshape Risk Assessment Survey (SRAS)?

A Shipshape Risk Assessment Survey is a comprehensive technical and operational review of a vessel, combining traditional inspection methods with modern data-driven assessment.

The purpose is to identify risk factors that can affect:

  • Safety of operations (crew, equipment, and navigation)

  • Technical integrity of critical systems

  • Regulatory compliance with class, flag, and insurance requirements

  • Operational continuity (minimizing downtime and unexpected failures)

Our surveys merge the best of H&M, P&I, and Condition Survey methodologies, with structured scoring models and photographic evidence, giving all stakeholders a clear, objective overview of the vessel’s overall risk profile.

Key Areas Covered

Each Shipshape Survey follows GSG’s standardized inspection framework:

  1. Hull & Structure – coating condition, corrosion, watertight integrity, and damage history.

  2. Machinery & Engine Room – engine health, lubrication systems, fuel handling, maintenance practices, vibration, and safety devices.

  3. Electrical Systems – distribution panels, generators, insulation resistance, and emergency power.

  4. Safety & Fire Systems – compliance with SOLAS, FSS, and onboard readiness.

  5. Navigation & Bridge Systems – redundancy, software updates, and operational reliability.

  6. Crew & Operational Procedures – work-rest compliance, maintenance routines, documentation control, and onboard reporting culture.

 

Deliverables & Reporting

Every Shipshape Risk Assessment includes:

  • A clear scoring model (1–10 scale) reflecting technical and operational health.

  • Visual evidence with annotated photos for each major finding.

  • Risk ranking and recommendations – practical, prioritized actions for mitigation.
