Ship Recycling Convention

ClassNK Action for Ship Recycling Convention

“The Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (Ship Recycling Convention)“ was adopted in May 2009. After the convention enters into force, development and maintenance of an Inventory of Hazardous Materials is required for all the ships over 500GT.
For both of Existing Ships and New Ships, the development of the Inventory(IHM) will be the significant task.
ClassNK proceeds to our actions so that concerned parties including shipowners, shipbuilders, and suppliers are able to implement the convention smoothly:

Assistance for development of Part I of Inventory(IHM)
1.Existing ship:introducing and providing an Expert for the Inventory(IHM) development
2.New ship:developing and prevailing the software “PrimeShip-INVENTORY” for the Inventory(IHM) development,     which reduces the burden of shipbuilders and suppliers

Proactive implementation by Statement of Fact
Issuing Statement of Fact (SOF) for the Inventory(IHM) developed before the convention entries into force and rewriting to the conventional certificate afterwards, which results in smooth implementation.

For details of the convention and ClassNK Action, please refer to the following document:

Inventory Development for New Ship

Shipbuilders develop an Inventory by the following steps:
<Step1> Record submitted Material Declaration (MD) and Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) for all procured products.
<Step2> Screen all products containing Hazardous Materials above the threshold levels.
<Step3> Identify the location of these products and calculate the amounts of Hazardous Materials at each location
<Step4> Prepare properly formatted Inventory(IHM).

PrimeShip-INVENTORY makes it easy for ship suppliers to electronically submit completed MDs and SDoCs, and makes it Inventory development a smooth and simple process for shipbuilders. For Inventory(IHM) development by PrimeShip-INVENTORY, please use the following MD/SDoC format
MD/SDoC Tool(English)
MD/SDoC Tool(Korean)

*The tool includes the function to prepare SDoC.

For Suppliers

Excel based “Material Declaration (MD) Tool” enables suppliers to prepare accurate Material Declarations promptly, and provides error-check capabilities for Material Declarations. (Macro activated Microsoft 2000/2002/2003 is required for MD Tool).

For Shipbuilders

PrimeShip-INVENTORY allows shipbuilders to develop Inventory(IHM) by importing MD/SDoC data and setting locations for MDs containing Hazardous Materials. PrimeShip-INVENTORY eliminates the need to post MD data and automatically calculates the amounts of Hazardous Materials at each location.

PrimeShip-INVENTORY is client/server application. Please get in touch ClassNK for PrimeShip-INVENTORY.

In addition to the above, ClassNK has launched a R & D project for developing PrimeShip-INVENTORY as web application. The outcome of the project will be released in due course.

Inventory(IHM) development for Existing ship

Ship Recycling Convention is applicable to an existing ship as well as a newly constructed ship. For the existing ship, Part 1 of the Inventory(IHM) is to be prepared by “Expert”. Please get in touch ClassNK for Inventory(IHM) development of Existing Ships.
