Report
See where maritime risk is building.
Warning signs often appear long before an incident. Developed by ShipIn and NorthStandard, The Maritime Risk Report shows where risk builds and how fleets can act earlier.

Risk is concentrated in a small group of vessels
Just 29% of vessels accounted for 70% of reported accidents. A small, identifiable group is driving the majority of fleet-wide risk.

Do You Know Where Your Fleet Stands?
See how continuous visibility helps fleets identify risk earlier, reduce deviations, and prevent costly losses in our joint report with NorthStandard.
The warning signs appear before an incident
Operational deviations often repeat long before an incident occurs. Across bridge, deck, mooring, and PPE indicators, vessels with low FleetVision scores recorded 15 to 45 times more deviations than vessels with high FleetVision scores.
Lower-scoring vessels generate 15x to 45x more deviations
| Operational Deviation | Deviations by Vessel Score: Low vs High |
|---|---|
| Bridge | |
| Unattended Bridge (Underway) | 45x |
| Mobile Phone on Bridge | 43x |
| Safety | |
| Unattended Gangway | 31x |
| Unattended Mooring >6 hrs | 40x |
| Mooring Snapback Risk | 15x |
| PPE | |
| PPE Observed Violations (Deck) | 32x |

One fleet used continuous visibility to eliminate $2.4 million in annual losses, delivering a 639% return. Read more in our full report.
Visibility turns warning signs into measurable improvement
Across 250 vessels, operational deviations fell 96% in 12 months, from 230 to just 8 per vessel per month, with gains sustained across bridge, safety, and PPE.
Months 1-3
Rapid decline as conditions become visible
Months 4-6
Stabilization as teams act on repeat issues
Months 7-12
Sustained reduction holds
Sustained Visibility Affects The Entire Vessel.
Bridge, safety, and PPE deviations all declined over the same period, showing that sustained visibility can change behavior across different parts of vessel operations. Download the full report to see how.
Industry Context
- Rising claims values
- Hull, cargo, and liability claims have been trending upward across the industry, putting more pressure on operators and insurers to intervene before a claim happens rather than after.
- Crew shortages
- Fleets are running with tighter crewing margins, which raises the risk that fatigue, workload, and inconsistent handovers turn into the small deviations this report tracks.
- P&I premium pressure
- As loss ratios tighten, P&I clubs and insurers are looking for operators who can show measurable, ongoing risk reduction, not just a clean claims history at renewal time.
