This Guide has been developed with the objective of promoting the industry??s ongoing commitment to providing safe working conditions of the vessel??s crew@ protecting the marine environment and in recognition of the maritime community??s efforts@ as a stake holder@ assisting in the safe and environmentally sound recycling of vessels. The Guide includes information on inventorying hazardous materials on new or existing vessels@ conducting verification surveys and the issuance and maintenance of the ABS notation IHM. This Guide covers mainly the ABS requirements for the review and verification survey of Part I@ the hazardous and potentially hazardous materials in a vessel??s structure and equipment as detailed in the Inventory. Parts II and III@ covering the operationally generated waste and stores are not required to be completed and hence are not subject to review until a vessel is in the process of being prepared for recycling. However@ see also 3/4.5.3.
