Ensure your vessels are IHM compliant by 2020
All EU registered and all EU visiting ships above 500GT must have a certified Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) on board by the end of 2020. Our certified consultants provide IHM for vessels anywhere in the world, in line with Class Society requirements. Our team can handle IHM for both new and existing vessels.
Delivering trusted Inventory of Hazardous Materials surveys worldwide
With an estimated 12,000 vessels still without a certified IHM, here are 6 excellent reasons why you should choose SDSD for your IHM survey.
Global Reach
We have a professional team of IHM surveyors enabling us to undertake the survey at a selected port in-line with the vessel’s schedule.
Certified IHM experts
Our IHM surveyors are DNV-GL trained and certified for the preparing of Inventory Hazardous Material reports.
Compliance and Quality Control
All samples and documentation are created in compliance with the EU SRR regulations and we work closely with the major classification societies.
Proactive planning
We proactively coordinate with the DPA or compliance team to collate the records and complete the Visual Sampling Check Plan before attending the vessel.
Minimum disruption
Our surveyors capture the required information accurately whilst onboard the vessel using our IHM reporting software, minimizing disruption and ensuring the report is in depth and to the standards set by the classification society.
Your IHM partner for the entire ships life-cycle
With our expertise in the HazMat and IHM field we have developed an easy to use cloud based IHM maintenance software, available to our clients once the report is completed, to help them keep the IHM up to date in line with class requirements.

IHM Maintenance Software
Owners are responsible for maintaining an up to date Inventory of Hazardous materials throughout a ship’s entire lifecycle. Our IHM Maintenance software provides a simple, reliable and cost-effective way to ensure fleet-wide Inventories of Hazardous Materials conformity.
Once you’ve completed your IHM survey and approval report from any Class Society or chosen supplier, we upload your report to the database. Your crew or office can then enter documents of compliance from suppliers, certificates, images etc via a simple dashboard, whenever a potentially hazardous material is brought on-board throughout the entire life cycle of your vessel from construction to dismantling.
