RightShip Qi brings the benefits of big data and predictive analytics to improve maritime safety and sustainability. Qi builds on the incumbent SVIS expert opinion platform, but harnesses big data, predictive analytics and real-time risk assessments to better target substandard maritime performance. Vast quantities of ever-changing data are analysed by sophisticated algorithms to spot patterns and draw conclusions from data sets too large, diverse and dynamic for analysis with previous technology. Prior to launch RightShip contracted Elder Research to validate Qi’s predictive performance.
