01What has changed

A risk assessment is now judged on whether it reflects the real job

Inspectors and auditors no longer accept a signed template as evidence of risk management. They look for assessments that are specific to the task, the ship and the company's own procedures, and for crew who understand the controls.

ISM Code

Companies must assess all identified risks to ships, personnel and the environment and establish appropriate safeguards, which makes risk assessment a core SMS requirement, not paperwork.

SIRE 2.0

Inspectors look at how risks are assessed and controlled for the operation in hand and test whether the crew can explain the hazards and controls.

RightShip RISQ 3.2

Dry bulk inspections expect risk assessments behind hazardous and non-routine work, with controls that match what actually happens on deck.

Enclosed spaces

IMO's revised recommendations for entering enclosed spaces, resolution MSC.581(110), put renewed weight on identifying hazards and assessing the atmosphere before anyone enters.

PSC & Flag

Port State and Flag inspectors increasingly ask for the risk assessment behind the work being done, and a generic or missing one can become a deficiency.

TMSA 3 & DryBMS

Both expect risk assessment to draw on incidents, near misses and audit findings, and to improve as the company learns.

02The pain it causes

What templated risk assessments are costing you

Risk assessment systems have been around for years, yet the office is still correcting what the ships submit.

Templates, not assessments

Even after training, many risk assessments are copied from a template and completed as a formality.

Not scenario or SMS specific

Assessments rarely reflect the specific job, the ship's equipment or the company's own procedures.

Severity and likelihood that do not add up

A severity written as death but marked as 2 on the risk matrix is a common sight, and it hides the real risk.

Lessons that never reach the form

Near misses and audit findings sit in other systems, so the same hazards are missed in the next assessment.

Office time spent correcting

Superintendents spend hours reviewing and sending assessments back instead of looking at the fleet's real risk picture.

03How it is managed today, and how it should be

Word templates and a risk matrix on the bulkhead — or specific, consistent and connected risk assessment

Every assessment should start from what the company already knows and end with controls the crew can apply.

05Why RA X7

What sets RA X7 apart for your fleet

RA X7 was built by Master Mariners who review shipboard risk assessments, and it is designed to make the crew's assessment better rather than just faster.

01

AI that knows your SMS

Artificial intelligence creates and reviews risk assessments using your SMS, near misses and audit findings, and suggests available mitigation measures.

02

Linked to the standards

AI interlinking to the company SMS and to SIRE 2.0, RISQ 3.2, TMSA 3 and DryBMS KPIs keeps each assessment tied to what will be inspected.

03

Comprehensive hazard identification

Hazards and impacts are identified across the operation, so the result does not depend on one officer's memory.

04

Five minutes, not an afternoon

A detailed, effective risk assessment can be created in 5 minutes, through an interface designed for ship's staff.

  • Key features
  • Creation and review of risk assessments using artificial intelligence
  • AI interlinking to the company SMS, SIRE 2.0, RISQ 3.2, TMSA 3 and DryBMS KPIs, near misses, audit findings and other requirements
  • Comprehensive hazard and impact identification
  • Easy-to-use user interface and user experience
  • Storage and application of risk assessment templates
  • Ship-shore sync for all key events
  • Integrated with Permit to Work and PMS X7
06Proven safety and return on investment

Better assessments, fewer corrections, fewer surprises

The safety return from RA X7 comes from assessments that reflect real hazards, and the time return from the office no longer rewriting what the ships send.

Hazards from experience, not memory

Near misses and audit findings are brought into each new assessment, so known hazards are not missed on the next job.

Less office rework

AI review flags weak or inconsistent assessments before they reach the superintendent, cutting the back-and-forth of corrections.

Fewer inspection observations

Scenario-specific assessments with controls the crew understand give SIRE 2.0, RISQ 3.2 and PSC inspectors less to question.

07AI, pattern recognition and ease of use

Describe the job, and let the AI do the groundwork

RA X7 is artificial intelligence trained, working within your own SMS and records rather than generic hazard lists.

AI built in Pattern recognition Designed for seafarers

AI auto fill

The crew describe the operation and its hazards in plain words, and the AI analyses them against the referenced SMS sections to draft the assessment.

Pattern recognition across records

Near misses, audit findings and SMS requirements are linked to the assessment, so recurring hazards are carried forward.

Consistent risk scoring

AI review helps keep severity and likelihood consistent with the consequences identified, so the matrix reflects the real risk.

Designed for ships and seafarers

Simple screens, a visible risk matrix and the option to skip AI and fill manually keep the crew in control.

08Real-time dashboards and analytics

Risk assessment the crew can complete and the office can trust

Every assessment carries its references, team, zone and risk matrix in one view, ready for review or print.

What is RA X7?

RA X7 is maritime risk assessment software for ships and shore from Synergetic Shipping Technologies. It uses artificial intelligence to create and review risk assessments, linking them to the company SMS, near misses, audit findings and SIRE 2.0, RISQ 3.2, TMSA 3 and DryBMS requirements, and suggests available mitigation measures.

How long does a risk assessment take in RA X7?

A detailed and effective risk assessment can be created in about 5 minutes. The crew describe the operation, the AI drafts the hazards and controls, and the crew review and complete it.

Does RA X7 work with other Marine X7 modules?

Yes. Risk assessments are integrated with PTW X7 permits and with PMS X7, and key events are synchronised between ship and shore.

Can RA X7 be used on its own?

Yes. Any Marine X7 module can run standalone, so a fleet can start with RA X7 alone and connect other modules later.
