Righthsip RISQ 3.2 Coming Up: We’re Ready!
Guide2Inspections, our flagship approach designed to facilitate vessel preparations in Rightship, SIRE 2.0 or Port State Inspections, is now updated to Rightship’s latest inspection regime—RISQ 3.2. While RISQ 3.2 comes into force on 1st February 2026, Guide2Inspections is gaining rapid popularity among seafarers. Besides the vessel owners, many seafarers have personally subscribed to Guide2Inspections. Why? What motivates them on an individual level? What does this mean for the industry?

What’s New With Navguide?
Our unique approach—Guide2Inspections- has now been in use for almost a year on several hundred vessels. As we took stock of our findings, it gave us a few interesting insights. Apart from its direct impact on keeping vessels ready for charter, improving results in SIRE 2.0, Rightship (RISQ), or Port State Inspections like USCG or AMSA, it also has a direct correlation with SMS Familiarisation, PMS compliance, and facilitating better Promotional decisions. Our team is adding new features to the app every month, making it more and more attractive and user friendly for every ship owner.
60-second insights
At 21:10 LT, the 3rd Engineer stopped mid-round. Something didn’t feel right in the purifier room. He opened Guide2Inspections™. Not to check a box—but to see. The same space he’d walked past a hundred times had a damaged lagging that he had normalised. No one was watching him. No inspector was coming. Yet the ship was being inspected—quietly, visually, relentlessly.
No Superintendent was onboard. But the standards were.

The Age of Skill Based Work
by Capt. Debashis Basu
“People like Plumbers and Construction workers are secure in the age of AI”
Jensen Huang (CEO, Nvidia)
In our December LinkedIn poll, about the jobs that are likely to survive in the age of AI, most voted for ‘Skill-based work’. Well, the Nvidia CEO has the same opinion. He has publicly stated that skill-based work is not likely to be replaced anytime soon.
Software development is becoming increasingly accessible to the common man; AI can build code if you prompt it well enough—you just need to know what you want. By extension, it means a number of desk jobs, even those of lawyers, accountants or HR, may be replaced by smart software. Even AI Companies we are impressed with often piggyback on the large language models like Claude, OpenAI, or Google’s Gemini. Therefore, they may go out of business if their offering is made free by the large corporations.
At Navguide, through our unique approach Guide2Inspections, we are empowering seafarers in on-the-job skills. Why? Because those skills are here to stay!
Sailing is still one of the most skill-based jobs that exists. It involves your senses and experience more than knowledge or information. The abnormal sound of a pump helps the Chief Engineer detect problems; the overhaul of a motor is more than physical labour - it needs field experience. It is unlikely to be replaced by AI soon.
