Essar Shipping’s 6 STX ships have been evaluated by RightShip, world’s leading maritime risk management and environmental assessment organisation. Our STX ships are rated Five Star for fitness, making them the favoured choice of charterers. RightShip is an independent ship vetting company that provides reliable and transparent ratings for virtually any commercial vessel afloat. RightShip provides a 1- to 5-star rating, which indicates whether the vessel is acceptable for the voyage or requires further review. The higher the rating the preferred the vessel.
Essar Shipping, with one of the youngest fleets in India, has invested in sustainable practices over the years, including initiatives such as paperless navigation, Green Passport, IMO Sulphur cap compliance_new, etc. The company is compliant with ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 standards with major vetting approvals in place.
