Upon request of shipowners or shipyards, China
Classification Society (CCS) can issue the Declaration
of Compliance of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (which can be
directly exchanged for a certificate after the convention comes into force) for
newbuildings that have been verified and have an Inventory of Hazardous
Materials (IHM) that meets the requirements of the Hong Kong Convention and IHM
Guidelines. In the design and construction stage of a newbuilding, the IHM
should be compiled in the following three steps, “collecting the information of
hazardous materials”, “using the information of hazardous materials” and “compiling
a list of standard formats".
Shipowners or shipyards can also apply for the “Green
Passport for Recycling” (GPR) notation in Section 5 of “Survey of Environmental
Protection Notations” in Chapter 6 of Part 1 of the CCS Rules for
Classification of Sea-going Steel Ships. Ships that have been granted the
GPR notation will be recognized by the market. As long as an IHM that complies
with the regulations has been compiled for the ship and the relevant
requirements of the CCS Guidelines for
the Compilation and Verification of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials for
Ships are met in all stages from the signing of the shipbuilding contract,
design, product ordering, construction through to operations, CCS will grant
the ship a GPR notation.
