Screening with Idwal ID
Instant Vessel Condition Insights
Idwal's unique vessel screening tool provides instant access to comprehensive vessel condition data across the global commercial fleet, enabling faster, more informed decisions. The platform can generate a detailed screening report for your curated list of vessels, highlighting key information, the vessels' estimated Idwal Grades, and overall asset integrity to support due diligence, investment evaluation, operational planning, and much more.


The Core Features
- Understand Vessel Condition - search any vessel in the global fleet and understand its condition using the Idwal Grade
- Incidents and Detentions - latest high-level data on casualties and detentions that could impact vessel condition.
- PSC Performance - summary information on Port State Control inspections and number of deficiencies, plus overall deficiency-per-inspection ratio (DPI).
- Compliance Risk – partner provided risk rating that incorporates sanctions risks, ownership & registry risks and voyage risks.
Powered by the Idwal Grade
Core to Idwal’s screening service is the Idwal Grade, enabling you to understand the condition of any vessel at a glance. The Idwal Grade is an industry-recognised score from 0 to 100 that reflects vessel condition and allows market comparisons to other vessels of similar type and age. The screening service uses two versions of the Idwal Grade as follows:

Inspected Idwal Grade
Where a recent inspection has taken place and permission to use has been granted, the inspected Idwal Grade is displayed. This has been programmatically generated from the 500+ data ponits gathered during on-board inspections.
Why it matters
- Better decisions, faster - screen vessels in seconds using credible condition data
- Reduces risk exposure - avoid poor-quality assets early in the deal process
- Objective, standardised scoring - removes guesswork and bias from vessel evaluation
- Backed by real-world data - trained on 12,000+ physical inspections, not public databases
- Outperforms PSC data - more consistent, relevant, and usable in commercial decisions
