Ship recycling: List of hazardous materials required

At the end of the year at the latest, ships with more than 500 GT on international voyages require a IHM Certificate (International Certificate on Inventory of Hazardous Materials) of the Flag State and an approved List of hazardous materials contained in the structure or equipment of the ship. These requirements are stipulated in Regulation EU 1257/2013 on ship recycling. Further information can be found in ISM Circular 03/2019.

Employees of shipping companies should note: Please assign a classification society or an assessor to prepare the IHM if this has not been done yet.
