Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) for ships in service & in readiness for compliant end-of-life recycling
With a legacy of over 5,500 marine surveys conducted each year, our Environmental Compliance division assists shipowners in meeting the compliance requirements of the Hong Kong Convention (HKC) & EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR). The ratification of the HKC by member states, which led to its enforcement in June 2025, represents a significant advancement in promoting safer and more environmentally friendly ship recycling practices globally.
We offer comprehensive services including the preparation of IHM Manuals Parts I, II, & III as well as thorough IHM Part I Maintenance programmes. Our services are delivered throughout a ship’s service life, including onboard sampling, surveys, testing, and reporting, all aimed at facilitating compliance with international regulations.
As a global leader in IHM surveys, Maritec-Naias is well-equipped to support a vessel’s compliance with both the EU SRR and HKC requirements. Trusted by fleets around the world, we transform regulatory challenges into operational assurance.
