As a ship owner, you know how much damage incorrectly managed asbestos can do to your business. The Hong Kong Convention for the environmentally sound recycling of ships will soon come into force. Once it does, all ship owners will be required to ensure their vessels hold inventory of hazardous materials documents.

Many owners are having their fleet surveyed for asbestos and having IHM documents issued to beat the impending rush, so why don’t you get your vessels one step ahead of your competition, and have them surveyed by industry leaders Lucion Marine. Not only do we have nearly 10 years of experience in managing asbestos, but we were also the first company to be accredited by Lloyds Register to provide IHMs. Our specialist marine surveyors can meet you vessel wherever is convenient to you as we regularly fly out to international locations for our clients.

Having an asbestos survey carried out on your vessel will not only ensure you are taking the correct health and safety requirements. Having an IHM for your vessel will ensure this also, with the added incentive of being prepared for the Hong Kong Convention, increasing the likelihood of gaining access to ports and yards, and increasing the second hand/scrap value of your vessels.
