Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Surveys

At Libra Marine, we provide specialized and independent Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Survey services in full compliance with international maritime regulations.

IHM Surveys are essential for identifying and documenting all hazardous materials present on board a vessel, as required by the Hong Kong Convention and EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR). These surveys ensure that vessels operate safely, protect the environment, and meet all regulatory obligations throughout their lifecycle.

Our experienced team conducts detailed inspections, document reviews, and sampling (where required) to prepare accurate and compliant IHM documentation. Whether for newbuild vessels, existing ships, or recycling preparation, Libra Marine delivers reliable and internationally accepted results.

With a strong operational presence in Houston and Miami, we provide fast and efficient IHM survey services across major ports.

Our IHM Services Include:

• IHM Part I preparation (materials contained in ship structure and equipment)
• IHM maintenance and updates during vessel operation
• IHM Part II & III (waste and stores) for ship recycling
• Onboard inspection and visual verification
• Hazardous material sampling and laboratory coordination
• Documentation review and gap analysis
• Compliance with EU SRR and Hong Kong Convention
• Final IHM reporting and certification support
