As mentioned in the club’s bulletin on ship recycling, from 31 December 2020, all EU flag and non-EU flag ships calling at EU ports and anchorages are required to have a certified IHM on board. The club’s bulletin also highlights the challenges that the industry is facing in regard to the compilation of the inventory of hazardous materials (IHM) due to the unforeseeable impact of pandemic.
On 20 October 2020 the European Commission (EC) has issued guidelines on the enforcement of obligations under the EU Ship Recycling Regulation relating to the Inventory of Hazardous Materials of vessels operating in European waters (2020/C 349/01) acknowledging reports from industry stakeholders that COVID-19 restrictions have led to significant difficulties in surveying ships and producing certified IHMs.

欧盟委员会（欧盟）主张放宽IHM合规性
2020年12月31日起，所有挂靠欧盟港口的欧盟各国船旗及非欧盟国船旗的船只须在船携带认证的“船舶有害物质清单”（简称IHM）。本协会公告还强调了由于疫情不可预期的影响，IHM条例的执行将面临巨大挑战。
2020年10月20日，欧盟已经发布了有关营运至欧洲水域的船只履行《欧盟拆船条例》下IHM义务的指南，并确认行业相关者的报告，即COVID-19疫情已导致船舶检验和编制认证IHM的巨大困难。
