Maintenance of IHM Part-I 

According to the EU (European Union) Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) and the Hong Kong International Convention for The Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (HKC), the IHM Part-I of the vessel shall be maintained throughout the operational life of the vessel. During this process, the IHM Part-I of the vessel should be updated as soon as any hazmat (falling under scope of the regulation) is added to or removed from the vessel which is to be supported by a Material Declaration (MD) and Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) from the supplier or relevant removal report/documents.
