IHM Part I, new build
Eurofins Maritime Services - IHM Newbuild Solutions
Eurofins Maritime Services supports shipowners and operators throughout the entire newbuild process — from procurement to delivery — ensuring full compliance with IHM Part I requirements.
We actively monitor and assess all procured materials, provide expert guidance during the purchasing phase, and perform final on-site inspections prior to delivery. This hands-on approach is essential, as hazardous materials are still regularly found on board, even when documentation indicates a vessel should be free of them.
Without independent oversight, shipowners risk unknowingly introducing substances such as asbestos during construction, which can lead to expensive corrective actions, delivery delays, and regulatory exposure after handover.
Eurofins goes beyond document reviews. Through on-site inspections and accredited laboratory testing, we verify that all materials used on board truly comply with IHM requirements — not just on paper, but in practice.
By choosing Eurofins, shipowners gain confidence that their newbuild is compliant from day one, avoid costly post-delivery remediation, and significantly reduce operational and financial risk, while meeting all IMO and IHM regulatory obligations.
Key Advantages:
- End-to-End IHM Compliance – Complete coverage from procurement to delivery.
- Independent Verification – Objective assessment through on-site inspections.
- On-site & Laboratory Tested – Ensuring materials meet IHM requirements in reality.
- Asbestos Risk Control – Early identification and mitigation of hazardous materials.
