Ship recycling is the process of dismantling vessels at the end of their lifecycle in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. It is important to ensure compliance with international regulations, protect the environment, and safely manage hazardous materials onboard.
The Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) is a document that identifies and tracks hazardous substances present on a vessel. It is mandatory for compliance with regulations such as the Hong Kong Convention (HKC) and EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR).
Yes, most vessels above 500 GT operating internationally are required to maintain an IHM to comply with global maritime regulations, especially when entering EU ports or preparing for recycling.
Sea Sentinels provides end-to-end support including recycling yard selection, documentation, regulatory compliance, on-site supervision, and final reporting to ensure safe and compliant ship recycling.
Ship lay-up services involve safely taking a vessel out of operation for a temporary or extended period while preserving its condition. This includes planning, monitoring, maintenance, and reactivation support.
