Verifavia to provide IHM services to BSM

This contract follows the launch of Verifavia’s new ‘3-Way Plug & Play’ IHM maintenance dashboard, which provides continuous maintenance of IHM reports. Maintenance involves ensuring the IHM is continuously updated with relevant suppliers’ documents throughout the ship’s operational life and renewed every five years.

Julien Dufour, chief executive of Verifavia Shipping said that it was essential for the industry to be confident that operations comply with the EU SRR regulation which comes into force on 31 December. ”We are seeing increasing demand for IHM maintenance services, particularly in the lead up to the regulation deadline.

“Our global IHM partners’ global hazmat experts are based across the world, in almost 50 locations, from Brazil to Sydney to help with the preparation of IHM surveys and ensure we can facilitate surveys ahead of the deadline in local ports around the world,” he said.

Nicholas Rich, group technical manager – systems at BSM, said that knowing that maintenance services were ongoing was reassuring. “The regulations dictate the IHM must be constantly up-to-date and Verifavia Shipping can ensure this is done efficiently and accurately, as well as facilitating the renewal survey required every five years,” he said.
