Industry regulatory disclosure requirements

The regulatory deadline for IHM requirements is fast approaching.

Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) is a structured system to control hazardous materials onboard ships and achieve compliance with the EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) and Hong Kong Convention (HKC) for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships.From December 31, 2020, any ship which is 500 GT or over, regardless of flag, will require a valid and certified IHM on board if calling at an EU port or anchorage. Non-EU flagged vessels can also be certified against EU SRR by complying with the HKC IHM requirements.

Read our IHM requirements guide.

We offer end-to-end IHM services for both LR and non-LR classed ships for each stage of their lifecycle – new build, in-service or end of life.

Why is this important?

A comprehensively compiled IHM can help you minimise risk, potential liabilities, and enhance the safety of your ships’ crews by identifying, recording and controlling hazardous materials onboard your ships, in line with existing and forthcoming legislation.As well as assisting with your in-house management systems, you can demonstrate your commitment to safe and environmentally sound practices at the end of your ship’s life.

An easily editable IHM template:

Our simple, tried and tested IHM template is carefully designed against legislative requirements and allows easy compilation and maintenance of the IHM.

We will issue a statutory certificate against EU SSR (for  EU flagged ships) or Statement of Compliance (for non-EU flagged ships). We can also issue a Statement of Compliance against HKC at the same time for no additional charge.
