HOW COVID-19 HAS IMPACTED IHM PREPARATIONS
2
• Ships (European Union (EU)/non-EU flagged) must comply from 31 December 2020 when calling at a port or anchorage of an EU Member State
• Estimates in late 2019 indicated that there were approximately 35,000 vessels that must comply with IHM and of that number approximately one-third had yet to begin work to demonstrate compliance which includes:• An IHM properly reviewed and verified, and• a Statement of Compliance (SoC) issued to the vessel
• The COVID-19 pandemic imposed travel restrictions for both IHM expert companies and International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) members to attend onboard and assess a vessel’s IHM compliance
HOW COVID-19 HAS IMPACTED IHM PREPARATIONS (continued)

• To ensure compliance by 31 December 2020, the RMI has:• Trained a team, from its 28 worldwide offices, to provide IHM verification services (ihm@register-
iri.com) in an efficient and reliable manner to support operators in achieving compliance prior the deadline
• Partnered with CTI/POLY to provide the full scope IHM services (onboard inspections, sampling, lab analysis, development of IHM Part I, verification, review, and issuance of respective SoCs)
