SHIP RECYCLING & INVENTORY OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Every year, around 1,000 ships reach the end of their operating life. The European Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) was introduced to ensure proper vessel dismantling methods are used to achieve safe disposal or recycling of all ship components, including hazardous materials. To assist shipyards and owners with this process, Bureau Veritas Solutions Marine & Offshore supports preparation of an Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) and development of a Ship Recycling Plan (SRP) that complies with EU SRR.

Shipyards must comply with numerous regulations governing hazardous materials, including EU SSR requirements concerning the ship dismantling process. To ensure compliance, vessel owners and operators need to draft, certify and maintain an Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) to accompany the ship throughout its life. In addition, they must develop an approved Ship Recycling Plan (SRP) for dismantling a decommissioned vessel safely and without emitting harmful pollutants.
