IHM Survey For Existing Ship To Comply With EUSRR and HKC

Compliance Regulation Requirement

Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 on ship recycling and amending, created on 20 November 2013by the European Parliament and of the Council, along with Regulation (EC) 1013/2006 and Directive 2009/16/EC’ were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 10 December 2013. It has been effective since 30 December 2013.

The IMO adopted the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships in 2009. Its purpose is to ensure that ships, when being recycled after reaching the end of their operational lives, do not pose any unnecessary risk to the environment or human health and safety. In addition, the convention seeks to clinch the proper management of hazardous materials on board ships.

From 31th Dec 2020 onwards, all ships flying the flag of a member state shall be subjected to a survey regime and would carry on-board a ship-specific ‘Inventory Certificate’ issued by the administration or a RO authorised by the administration and supplemented by Part I of the IHM.

When calling at the port or anchorage of a member state, all ships flying the flag of a third country should carry on-board a ship-specific ‘statement of compliance’ issued by the relevant authorities of the third country or an organisation authorised by them. The statement of compliance should be supplemented by Part I of the IHM..
