Maintaining your vessel also means maintaining its IHM: is your ship compliant and ready for the next journey? Having an approved IHM Part I is an important step towards compliance with the regulations under the Hong Kong Convention and the EU SRR. But compliance doesn’t stop there. The IHM needs continuous maintenance during a vessel’s lifecycle, to keep it up to date and remain compliant. Even a seemingly routine change on board can affect your IHM, for example: ▪ repairing or modifying equipment; ▪ applying new coatings or paints; ▪ installing, replacing, or removing fixed machinery, equipment, or materials. That’s why IHM maintenance needs to be an ongoing process. Is your IHM still an accurate reflection of what is on board? We support your fleet with comprehensive maintenance assessments to keep your inventory accurate. Contact our experts to learn more: [email protected].
