Casa Environmental Services recently undertook a Part 1 Inventory of Hazardous Materials survey to the Epic St Croix vessel which was undergoing a refit in dry dock in Lisbon, Portugal.<\/p>\n

The survey was undertaken at short notice as the ship was due to sail within 4 days of the order for the survey being placed.<\/p>\n

Casa sent a team of two surveyors to Lisbon within 24 hours to carry out the work and they started the survey immediately after induction by the Project Manager on board.<\/p>\n

The project was completed on time within 2 days with the vessel due to leave port the day after completion.<\/p>\n

The Epic St Croix is a 5000 Tonne Bulk LPG Tanker built in Japan in 2014. The Epic St Croix sails under a Maltese Flag with its home port being Valletta.<\/p>\n

An IHM Part 1 survey seeks to identify and quantify any, and all hazardous materials that may exist on board a vessel in order that the owner may safely manage them.<\/p>\n

Hazardous materials can include PCB\u2019s, Asbestos, Heavy Metals , Radioactive Substances and Explosives amongst others. When a ship reaches the end of its working life and is due to be broken and recycled an IHM Part 2 and 3 survey is undertaken which are more intrusive than a Part 1 Survey.<\/p>\n

The IHM Part 1 Survey was undertaken in compliance with the following Regulation Guidelines :<\/p>\n
