Meeting IHM Compliance
To meet regulatory requirements, owners need to identify areas, types and quantities of hazardous materials onboard each vessel. Owners need a simple, yet effective, way to gain and maintain compliance with the Inventory of Hazardous Material (IHM) requirements.
Through its user-friendly web-based IHM application, ABS provides a simple platform that guides owners in developing an accurate and thorough IHM.
Once an IHM is complete, ABS can provide an engineering review and verify the location of hazardous material on board that are listed in the IHM and deliver a Statement of Compliance.
Solutions for IHM Maintenance
Once owners have developed their IHM inventory and their Statement of Compliance has been issued, the next step is ensure the inventory is maintained properly. This includes:
- A management policy to maintain the IHM inventory including designating a responsible person (ashore or on board);
- A management system to maintain the IHM (can be done through software):
- Request of Hazardous Material Information
- Review of Collected Information of Hazardous Materials
- Development of Revision of the Inventory
- Review of Revision and Instruction of Updating Inventory
- Update of the Inventory on Board
- Ascertaining the Conformity of the Inventory;
- Ensuring the continuity of Conformity of the inventory;
- The ability to provide related documents as required for the survey or sale of the ship
With teams in place across the globe, ABS can provide solutions that can simplify your hazardous material challenges and help you meet IHM compliance and maintenance requirements.
