IHM

We carry out inspections, prepare and maintain IHM for all types of vessels

IHM (Inventory of Hazardous Materials) is an important regulation in the shipping industry that came into force on 31.12.2020 for vessels over 500 gross tons sailing in Europe or flying the EU/EEA flag (EU SRR). The regulations will come into force worldwide from 26.06.2025 (HKC). The regulations address the identification and quantification of hazardous materials on board vessels, ensuring the safety of the crew on board and the protection of the marine environment from potential hazards that may be present on a vessel.

This is IHM

IHM stands for Inventory of Hazardous Materials.
All ships over 500 gross tons sailing under the EU flag or visiting European ports must have an approved IHM (Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009) and the EU Ship Recycling Regulation, EU SRR)
The main objective of IHM is to protect the health and safety of workers involved in ship maintenance and recycling, and to protect the environment by minimizing the risk of pollution.
IHM helps ship owners and operators identify and control hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and ozone-depleting substances.
IHM inspection, preparation and maintenance must be carried out by an approved operator.
IHM is divided into three parts:
- Provides an overview of hazardous materials found on board while the ship is in operation
- Document hazardous materials found in the ship's remains (including waste) after dismantling
- Summarizes waste products generated during the ship's operation.
