Description

Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Awareness Training – 2026 Edition

The Marine Pro Academy Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Awareness Training provides maritime professionals with a practical understanding of the purpose, lifecycle and compliance significance of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials.

The course explains how IHM supports safer ship operation, environmental protection and responsible ship recycling by providing traceable information about hazardous materials that may be present onboard.

The training has been updated for the current regulatory environment, including the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, which entered into force on 26 June 2025.

What You Will Learn

The course develops practical awareness of:

the purpose and regulatory significance of the IHM
the relationship between IHM requirements and responsible ship recycling
hazardous-material categories relevant to ships
the structure and lifecycle of an IHM
documentation and supply-chain evidence
responsibilities associated with maintaining IHM information
survey, verification and compliance-readiness principles
practical situations where IHM information supports safer decision-making

The training uses realistic maritime examples and scenario-based learning without turning the course into specialist surveyor or laboratory training.

Regulatory Context

The course is developed with reference to current international requirements and guidance, including:

the Hong Kong Convention
applicable IMO guidance for the development and maintenance of the IHM
the EU Ship Recycling Regulation where relevant
current ship-recycling and hazardous-material management principles

The Hong Kong Convention establishes mandatory global requirements for safe and environmentally sound ship recycling and includes survey, certification, inspection and reporting provisions.

Certificate

Upon successful completion of the course and final assessment, learners receive a Marine Pro Academy Certificate of Completion.

This course provides professional awareness training. It does not authorize the learner to prepare, approve, survey, certify or formally verify an IHM, and it does not replace applicable flag-State, class/RO, competent-authority or specialist requirements.

Why This Course Matters

An IHM should not be viewed only as a recycling document.

When properly understood and maintained, it supports safer maintenance, better material traceability, compliance awareness and more responsible management of hazardous materials throughout a vessel’s lifecycle.
