Hazardous Materials
- Carrying out desktop study on HazMats
By thorough analysis of your documentation and certificates we are able to save time and money while preparing your IHM report.
- Carrying out inspections for HazMats
HazMat inspectors pay a visit onboard and perform sampling with specialized tools without interrupting the operation of your vessel.
- Preparing ship-specific Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) for approval from Class according EU Ship Recycling Regulation and/or Hong Kong Convention
The EU SRR already adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on 20 November 2013 demands every ship (flying EU Flag or non-EU Flag) calling at an EU port to have an approved IHM report onboard bringing forward the 2009 Hong Kong Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships which is not yet ratified.
- Managing of Hazardous Materials to protect the health and safety of crew and officers onboard
There are HazMats like asbestos which have been banned and if found need to be removed immediately from the vessel. Other HazMats will remain onboard and given such circumstances crew will need to carry on working with them. We can advise you regarding how your officers and crew can protect themselves with the correct PPE and how to work safely with HazMats.
Ship recycling

We have recycled ships in EU ship recycling facilities and can follow-up both licences and project management of the recycling of your ship.

Energy efficiency consulting
- Help you develop your SEEMP
The SEEMP was made a requirement for all ships at MEPC 62 in July 2011 with the adoption of amendments to MARPOL Annex VI (resolution MEPC.203(62)), by Parties to MARPOL Annex VI.
We can advise you on how to improve the energy efficiency of your vessel.
The purpose of the SEEMP demands the constant management and improvement of energy efficiency onboard ships. We will be happy to share the best practices we have gathered through working experience, systems upgrade and crew engagement. Follow-up on your yearly targets
The follow-up on targets set will define the achievement or deviation to what was planned for a given year. We will make sure there is proper recording of your performance and advise you on the steps for the coming year.

SOx abatement technologies
With the global sulfur cap coming up in 2020, the only available option to continue running on Heavy Fuel Oil is the installation of a scrubber. We have been working with all the major manufacturers of scrubber technology and upon your request will perform a study on how to fit such a system onboard your ship.
NOx abatement technologies
The necessity to regulate NOx emissions has urged IMO in implementing Tiers I, II and III regarding ship diesel engines. The installation of an SCR catalyst will help you reduce and practically eliminate your NOx emissions.
