IHM Part I, new build
Eurofins Maritime Services supports shipowners and operators throughout the entire new build process, from procurement to delivery, ensuring full compliance with Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Part I requirements.
We monitor and assess all purchased materials, provide expert guidance during procurement, and carry out final inspections before delivery. This proactive approach is essential, as hazardous materials are still sometimes used despite documentation claiming a ship is free of them.
Without proper oversight, shipowners risk inadvertently introducing substances such as asbestos during construction, which can lead to costly remediation after delivery.
Eurofins prevents these issues by going beyond paper-based reporting: we conduct on-site inspections and laboratory analyses, ensuring that the ship is truly compliant and free from hazardous materials at handover.
With our approach, shipowners gain peace of mind, reduce financial and operational risks, and guarantee that their newbuild meets all IMO and IHM regulations.
