Foreword
Foreword In May 2009, the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (Ship Recycling Convention) was formally adopted at a Diplomatic Conference in Hong Kong. The purpose of the Ship Recycling Convention is to prevent, reduce, minimize and, to the extent practicable, eliminate accidents, injuries and other adverse effects on human health and environment caused by ship recycling, and to enhance ship safety, protection of human health and the environment throughout a ship’s operating life (Article 1). Specific regulations for safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships are annexed to the new Convention. In order to allow for the effective implementation of the Convention, IMO has been focusing its effort in developing a set of guidelines covering aspects such as the development of the inventory of hazardous materials, development of ship recycling plan, authorization of ship recycling facilities, and safe and environmentally sound ship recycling.
Central to the implementation scheme of the Convention is the development and maintenance of a document referred to as the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM), which was previously known as the “Green Passport” (GP) in IMO Resolution A.962(23). The Inventory is ship-specific and covers the whole life of the ship, from construction, throughout the ship’s operating life to preparation for scrapping at the end of the ship’s useful life. The main differences between IHM and Green Passport are that IHM requires more detailed and reasonably accurate account of the listed hazard substances in the inventory booklet and sampling to be carried out for existing ships.
This Guide provides for the review, approval and issuance of the initial Inventory (Green Passport) for new construction vessels, existing ships and for the maintenance, verification and endorsement of the issued Green Passport for a ship in service. The initial inventory covers mainly Part 1 of the IHM, as it is the only part that needs to be maintained during the life of the ship. The preparation and approval of Parts 2 and 3 of the IHM are outside the scope of this Guide.
The 2011 edition of this Guide is an updated version of the May 2008 edition by incorporating the requirements of paragraphs 1 – 4 of Regulation 5 of the new Ship Recycling Convention and the IHM development guidelines contained in IMO Resolution MEPC.179(59).
Due to the developmental nature of the regulatory schemes initiated in the Ship Recycling Convention, this Guide is currently limited to partial incorporation of the Ship Recycling Convention. As IMO continues its development, subsequent maintenance of the GP notation may require compliance with new requirements as they are incorporated into these guidelines.
The application of this Guide is optional. However, recognizing the increasing attention of the maritime community on protection of the marine environment and occupational health and safety relating to ship recycling, designers, Owners and operators are encouraged to apply this Guide.
The effective date of this Guide is the first day of the month of publication.

Section 2: General Guidance
S E C T I O N 2 General Guidance
1 Introduction
The identification, location, and quantity of hazardous materials and potentially hazardous materials onboard ships is an essential ingredient in facilitating the protection of the ship’s crew when performing routine maintenance and repair, as well as workers at the recycling facility and the environment where the facility is located. Having this information readily available enables the ship’s crew and the workers at the recycling facility to exercise the appropriate precautions if at risk of exposure to these materials.
2 IHM Booklet The ship-specific Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Booklet is composed of the following two (2) components:
• Ship details
• Inventory of hazardous materials
A representative format for the IHM Booklet is presented in Appendix 2.
2.1 Ship Details The first component of the IHM Booklet is referred to as the “Ship Details”, and includes, at least, the following:
• The name of the ship
• The ship’s IMO number
• Builder, builder’s address and hull number
• Type of ship
• Flag state, port of registry, date of registry
• Owner’s name and address
• Classification Society(ies)
• Principal dimensions (LOA, Breadth (molded) and Depth (molded))
• Lightship displacement
Any changes relating to the ship details in the ship-specific IHM Booklet are to be recorded and updated accordingly. See Subsection 5/4 for an acceptable equivalent to the above.
2.2 Inventory The second component of the IHM Booklet is the actual inventory of the hazardous and potentially hazardous materials, containing the location and the approximate quantity/volume of each identified material on board the ship. This Inventory is divided into the following parts.
Section 2 General Guidance
4 ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2011
• Part 1: Hazardous materials contained in the ship’s structure and equipment
1.1 Paint and coating system containing materials listed in Sections A and B of Appendix 1, Table 1
1.2 Equipment and machinery containing materials listed in Sections A and B of Appendix 1, Table 1
1.3 Structure and hull materials containing materials listed in Sections A and B of Appendix 1, Table 1
• Part 2: Operationally generated waste
• Part 3: Stores
3.1 Stores
3.2 Liquids sealed in ship’s machinery and equipment
3.3 Gases sealed in ship’s machinery and equipment
3.4 Regular consumable goods potentially containing hazardous materials
Preparation of Part 1 is to be based on the listing of those materials/substances considered to be hazardous or potentially hazardous as found in Appendix 1, Table 1. See Subsections 3/4 and 4/2 of this Guide.
Preparation of a diagram showing the locations of the hazardous materials listed in Sections A and B of Appendix 1, Table 1 is recommended in order to help the ship’s crew and the workers of the recycling facility gain a visual understanding of the inventory.
Part 2 – Operationally Generated Waste, and Part 3 – Stores, are to be prepared by the ship Owner prior to or during the final voyage to the recycling facility.
References to Parts 2 and 3 of the Inventory as well as the location diagram of the onboard hazardous materials are intended for informational purposes only and are outside the scope of the class notation.
3 Survey
3.1 Initial Approval Survey Once an inventory for a vessel has been developed, an onboard auditing survey by an ABS Surveyor is to be carried out to generally verify that the locations and the approximate quantity/volume of hazardous material detailed on the inventory reflect those found on the vessel.
3.2 Annual Survey An annual survey is also to be conducted to confirm that the Inventory reflects any modifications, repairs, or changes to the vessel that involve the removal or addition of hazardous materials.
It should be noted that the annual survey approach is aimed to verify proper maintenance of the information in the IHM and does not fulfill the renewal survey requirements of Regulations 10.2.
4 Maintenance The IHM Booklet is to remain onboard the ship throughout its operating life and each Owner is to enact the necessary steps to maintain the accuracy of the IHM Booklet, which includes the incorporation of all relevant design and equipment changes or new installations, especially after any repair or conversion of a ship.
The final Owner of the ship when delivering the ship to the recycling facility is to present the IHM Booklet to the appropriate recycling facility personnel.

Section 3: New Construction Vessels
S E C T I O N 3 New Construction Vessels
1 Introduction Throughout a ship’s design and construction, designers and builders are to exercise environmental judgment in the selection of all materials and substances to be incorporated into the ship’s structure and equipment. As a first step, the design and build team is to identify, based on Appendix 1, Tables 1 and 2, any hazardous or potentially hazardous materials that are intended to be utilized and carefully consider using less environmentally hazardous materials. Simply stated, if the opportunity exists to use less hazardous materials in the construction, without compromising safety or operational efficiency, it should be considered by the design and build team or recommended to the ship Owner/operator as appropriate.
2 Prohibited or Restricted Materials Substances known to be hazardous which are prohibited or restricted by national regulation and various international agreements and conventions are not to be used in the construction. Examples of these substances and the corresponding statutory instruments are detailed in Section 3, Table 1 below:
TABLE 1 Substances Agreement/Convention
Asbestos 1974 SOLAS – 2009 Amendments (Reg II-1/3-5) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic
Pollutants (POP’s) (Part II) Ozone Depleting Substances, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s)
MARPOL Annex VI Reg 12 & Montreal Protocol
Organotin Compounds which act as biocides in anti-fouling systems (tributyltins (TBT’s), Triphenyltins (TET’s) and tributyltins Oxide (TBTO’s))
International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships 2001
3 Vendor Supplied Equipment and Materials Shipbuilders are to work closely with all their suppliers such that all equipment, parts, and materials provided are environmentally safe or specifically itemized on the Inventory. These suppliers are to indicate and declare whether or not the substances identified in Appendix 1, Tables 1 and 2 are present above the threshold level specified in Appendix 1, Table 3, using the “supplier’s declaration” approach established by the IMO Guidelines.
The approach consists of two declarations, as follows:
• Material Declaration (MD) – A declaration prepared by the suppliers, including the upstream suppliers in the equipment/system supply chain, detailing the specific substances including the system/item, the substance, and amount of substance. For detailed explanation and information requirements for the form, see MEPC.179(59) Section 6 and Appendix 3.
• Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) – A declaration by the supplier to confirm conformity of the delivered product and related Material Declaration to the law and compliance with appropriate management/control requirements on the chemical substance contained in the product. See MEPC.179(59) Section 7.
Shipbuilders are to request their suppliers to submit the above declaration forms for the products at the time of purchase. This collection of information, particularly the materials declarations, is to be used to prepare Part 1 of the Inventory.
Section 3 New Construction Vessels
6 ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2011
4 Part 1 of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials Upon completion of the collection/screening process of the hazardous materials information, Part 1 of the hazardous materials inventory is to be prepared by the shipbuilder based on the material declarations furnished by the suppliers. Where the substances listed in Sections A and B of Appendix 1, Table 1 have been added to the equipment, parts or materials above the threshold levels specified in Appendix 1, Table 3, their identity, location, and quantity are to be incorporated into Part 1 of the Inventory.
The Part 1 of the IHM is to be prepared in accordance with Regulation 5.1 of SR/CONF/45 and development of the Inventory is to follow the guidelines given in MEPC.179(59) Section 4.1 and Appendix 3. Section 3, Figure 1 of this Guide shows the general flow diagram for the development of the IHM Part 1.
A ship-specific IHM Booklet is to be prepared in accordance with Subsection 2/2 for ABS review.
5 Initial Approval Upon completion of the review of the IHM by the ABS Plan Review Office, an onboard auditing survey is to be carried out by an ABS Surveyor as per 2/3.1
6 Documentation Requirements Documentation in the form of booklet, drawings, or tables noting the use of hazardous materials, quantity, and location are to be submitted to the ABS Plan Review Office for review. At the shipbuilder’s option, each drawing submitted is to be annotated in such a manner as to detail the use of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials thereon. Section 3, Table 2 shows the general documentation requirements for new construction vessels.

Section 4: Existing Vessels
S E C T I O N 4 Existing Vessels
1 Introduction Many materials and substances, which were previously assumed to be non hazardous and selected for installation onboard ships, are no longer being utilized, or have since been identified as being hazardous. To assist in safeguarding the ship’s crew, and workers involved in ship recycling, as well as the marine environment, documenting the location and approximate volume/quantity of materials currently classified as hazardous or potentially hazardous is to be achieved to the greatest degree possible.
It is recognized that it is often not possible to accurately define, identify, or locate specific hazardous or potentially hazardous materials onboard existing ships due to their concealment or unknown locations. .
2 Part 1 of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials Development of Part 1 of the IHM for an exiting vessel is the responsibility of the ship Owner.
The development of the IHM is to be prepared in accordance with Regulation 5.2 of SR/CONF/45, taking into account the development guidelines given in MEPC.179(59) Section 4.2 and Appendix 5.
The following requirements are emphasized:
• It is required to identify the prohibited materials listed in Section A of Appendix 1, Table 1 contained in the ship’s structure and equipment, their identity, location, and approximate quantity in the Inventory.
• Hazardous materials listed in Section B of Appendix 1, Table 1 and contained in the ship’s structure and equipment are to be identified as far as practical.
• The determination of hazardous materials present onboard existing ships is, as far as practical, to be conducted following the “supplier’s declaration” approach and using the MDs and SDoCs, as prescribed for new construction vessels.
• Alternative procedure for hazardous materials determination through a visual/sampling check process as prescribed in MEPC.179(59) Section 4.2 can be applied.
The alternative procedure for developing the Inventory for existing ships is a multi-phase checklist process, starting with an “indicative HM Checklist” initially and working through the visual/sampling check steps to derive the final representative HM Checklist. The sample checklist developed by IMO can be found in MEPC.179(59) Appendix 5.
Expert assistance is required for the performance of the procedural steps of collecting and assessing the necessary hazardous materials information, preparing a visual/sample check plan, and performing the visual and sampling checks. The ship Owner may consider employing a qualified and experienced hazardous material expert for the hazmat review and sampling, and contracting an accredited test laboratory for chemical analysis of samples.
This alternative procedure is illustrated in Section 4, Figure 1 and consists of the following steps.
2.1 Collection of Necessary Information (Step 1) The information collection process is to be made taking into account the guidance in MEPC.179(59) Subsection 4.2.1 and Appendix 5 Section 2.
Often the ship’s crew can provide assistance as to the location of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials onboard as a result of their in depth ship-specific knowledge developed from carrying out or witnessing repairs and maintenance. Additionally the crew may provide valuable information associated with equipment replacement or modifications. Thus, ship Owners may want to consider interviewing the ship’s crew for information.
Section 4 Existing Vessels
ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2011 9
2.2 Analysis of Collected Information (Step 2) The information collected in Step 1 is to be analyzed with the purpose of determining the existence of hazardous materials in the ship’s structure, equipment, and systems by classifying each item as “contained”, “not contained”, “unknown” or “potentially containing hazmat” and to work out a suitable scope of the hazmat investigation by visual/sampling checks. Guidance for this step can be found in MEPC.179(59) Subsection 4.2.2 and Appendix 5 Section 3. The analysis and investigation shall cover all materials listed in Section A of Appendix 1, Table 1 of this Guide. The substances in Section B of Appendix 1, Table 1 should be identified and listed as far as practical.
2.3 Development of Visual/Sampling Check Plan (Step 3) Based on the assessment results of the previous step, a detailed survey and sampling check plan is to be developed. The goal of the survey and sampling is to assist in confirming if hazardous or potentially hazardous materials are present and where they are located.
Specific guidelines on how to decide on when to apply visual check or sample check are given in MEPC.179(59) Subsection 4.2.3 and Appendix 5 section 4.
The survey/sampling check plan is to identify, for each classified item on the HM checklist, the required onboard survey actions for a visual check or sampling check. The check points are to be marked in the ship’s plan/drawing and/or recorded with photographs. In addition, the plan is to include a survey schedule, safety precautions, and appropriate personnel safety and hazmat containment procedures for the performance of the survey and/or sampling checks.
A copy of the survey/sampling check plan is to be submitted to ABS for review before conducting the onboard survey and sampling checks.
2.4 Onboard Visual/Sampling Check (Step 4) The onboard visual/sample check is to be carried out in accordance with the approved visual/sampling check plan. Guidance on the conduct of the visual survey and sampling checks is given in MEPC.179(59) Subsection 4.2.4 and Appendix 5 Section 5.
The results of all visual/sampling checks are to be recorded in the HM Checklist. In particular, when a sampling check is carried out, the sample is to be forwarded to a recognized laboratory for testing and the records of the sample taken, the sampling point marked on the ship plan, and the laboratory test results are to be retained for record and reference.
The ship Owner may at their discretion, with the concurrence of the attending Surveyor, classify various materials and equipment as “containing hazardous substances” without further investigating or sample testing. When making this classification or declaration, the ship Owner needs to verify that proper safety and environmental hazard management system is in place in the ship’s ISM for adequately addressing the substances identified.
An external specialist having specific knowledge in the means of how to take material samples and preventative measures to be taken to avoid cross contamination may be retained by the ship Owner.
2.5 Preparation of Part 1 of IHM and IHM Booklet (Step 5) Development of Part 1 of the IHM for existing ships is to be made by the ship Owner, based on results of the Owner’s evaluation/analysis of available hazmat information, results of visual surveys and any hazmat/substance testing reports. For any equipment, system, and/or area that is classed as either “containing hazardous material” (CHM) or “potentially containing hazardous material” (PCHM), their identity and location together with the hazmat identity and approximate quantity are to be listed in Part 1 of the Inventory.
Any limitations regarding the scope of laboratory reports or prepared inventory are to be stated or noted in the “Remarks” column of the inventory.
A ship-specific IHM Booklet is to be prepared in accordance with Subsection 2/2 for ABS review.
Development of a location diagram of the hazardous materials identified and listed in the inventory is recommended in order to help the ship’s crew gain a visual understanding of the Inventory and the onboard auditing survey by an ABS Surveyor.
Section 4 Existing Vessels
10 ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2011
3 Initial Approval For the initial approval of the IHM developed, an onboard auditing survey by an ABS Surveyor is to be conducted as per 2/3.1. The ABS Surveyor is to verify that materials, areas, or equipment from which the samples haven extracted are adequately sealed so as to reduce the possible risk of exposure to the crew and others.
ABS Surveyors are not to risk themselves to possible exposure of hazardous materials during the sampling, testing procedures, or survey.
4 Documentation Requirements The documentation required for the IHM of existing ships is shown in Section 4, Table 1 below.

Section 5: Certification, Maintenance, and Survey
S E C T I O N 5 Certification, Maintenance, and Survey
1 Introduction The inventory of hazardous and potentially hazardous materials for ships of new constriction and existing ships, are to be developed by the shipyard or ship Owner respectively, and submitted to ABS for review and acknowledgement.
The hazardous or potentially hazardous materials/substances are to be suitably marked onboard the ship to alert all parties of their presence and to facilitate random verification of the submitted documentation by an ABS Surveyor.
2 Certification Upon completion of the verification surveys, the initial IHM Booklet, consisting of the ship details and Part 1 of the Inventory, is accepted and a certificate issued. The GP Notation is then granted and included in the ABS Record.
3 Maintenance of the Green Passport Part 1 of the Inventory of the IHM Booklet is to be maintained throughout the ship’s life and placed onboard the ship. The removal, replacement, or repair of existing equipment or substances previously detailed in Part 1 or the addition of relevant new equipment or substances is to be carefully tracked and is to be specified in the Inventory and suitably marked onboard. Any changes to Part 1 of the inventory are to be recorded so as to provide the current information together with a history of the changes.
An annual verification survey is to be carried out in the course of completing other periodical surveys. Any changes to the materials in the IHM Booklet’s inventory should be noted by the ship’s crew and verified by the attending Surveyor. Upon satisfactory review and verification, the Green Passport certificate will be endorsed.
In addition to any survey requirements, the maintenance of the GP notation may require incorporation of new requirements that may be incorporated into this Guide from time to time.
4 Retention of Green Passport The IHM Booklet is to be retained onboard the ship and is to be presented to each subsequent Owner, including those instances where the flag, or type of service changes. Any changes relating to the ship details are to be recorded and the IHM Booklet is to be updated accordingly. The Continuous Synopsis Record, as detailed in SOLAS Regulation XI-1/5, when combined with the Certificate of Build, as produced by the shipbuilder are considered as equivalent to the ship details section of the Green Passport, provided a copy is attached to the IHM Booklet.
