OneOcean, part of the Lloyd’s Register Group, has launched a Knowledge Base and updated courses on its Ocean Learning Platform to assist ship operators in adapting to the revised RightShip Inspection Ship Questionnaire (RISQ) 3.2.
The RISQ 3.2 standard, which came into effect in February 2026, introduces more than 150 changes and places a greater emphasis on demonstrated crew competence and evidence-based verification rather than procedural compliance alone. The update affects vessels across the dry bulk, general cargo, container, and RoRo sectors.
OneOcean has released a free, publicly available Knowledge Base that maps Ocean Learning Platform training directly to each section of the RISQ 3.2 questionnaire. The tool allows operators and training managers to identify which courses, films, and certified training support specific inspection requirements.
Alongside the launch, OneOcean has updated a range of Ocean Learning Platform courses to align with the revised syllabus references. The content focuses on key operational risk areas, including solid bulk cargo handling, dangerous goods, and enclosed space entry.
The courses align with the latest International Maritime Organization (IMO) model courses and guidance now referenced by the standard.
“Inspectors are increasingly focused on how well crews understand and apply safety procedures on board. The focus is now shifting from certificates alone to evidence of competence,” said Alex Mangan, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at OneOcean.
“Our aim is to give operators clear, practical tools to show their training is current, relevant and aligned with the new standard. And because we also provide crew management capabilities, that evidence sits alongside contracts, certifications and voyage history in one connected ecosystem, ready for any inspector or auditor who needs it.”
