The Additional Vessel Details section in Starboard’s vessel reports provides an in-depth view of a vessel’s registration, classification, construction, and critical dimensions. This data is sourced from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) ship identification scheme, which is managed by S&P Global Market Intelligence. It is provided to help users track potential risks and gain insights into vessel compliance. Below, we break down the Additional Vessel Details section.
