Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) is a structured system to control hazardous materials onboard ships and achieve compliance with the EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) and Hong Kong Convention (HKC) for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships.

From December 31, 2020, any ship which is 500 GT or over, regardless of flag, will require a valid and certified IHM on board if calling at an EU port or anchorage. Non-EU flagged vessels can also be certified against EU SRR by complying with the HKC IHM requirements.

An IHM report lists hazardous materials onboard, their location, and condition, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Shipowners and operators are responsible for ensuring their vessels maintain valid and up-to-date IHM certifications.

IHM reports must be updated whenever there are material changes, such as repairs, retrofits, or new equipment installations.
