This post explains why Material Declarations (MD) and Supplier’s Declarations of Conformity (SDoC) are the hidden challenge in IHM maintenance, why a PDF in a folder is not a connected record, the questions shipowners should ask suppliers, a practical seven-stage IHM maintenance workflow, and how VSIMS and VSMPS support procurement-to-IHM traceability. https://www.varuna-sentinels.com/news-updates vs-news-india-top-ship-recycler-115-hkc-yards-2026-08-12 Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Marine News India ended 2025 as the world’s number-one ship recycling nation with a 35.4% global share on 2.99m GT (up ~60% YoY). ₹53.5 crore of yard modernisation support has taken 115 facilities to Hong Kong Convention compliance, alongside the new Ship Recycling Regulations 2026 and the world’s first Ship-breaking Credit Note under SBFAS 2.0. A yard’s HKC certification does not by itself make a sale EU SRR compliant — a maintained IHM Part I is still required. https://www.varuna-sentinels.com/news-updates vs-news-eu-16th-european-list-first-indian-yards-2026-07-22 Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Marine News The European Commission’s draft 16th European List of Ship Recycling Facilities proposes admitting Indian yards for the first time — YSI Recyclers and Shree Ram at Alang, Gujarat — while removing four facilities in France, Norway and Türkiye. Public feedback runs to 30 August 2026. ECSA welcomed the step. The EU SRR still requires a maintained IHM Part I against a wider material list than the HKC. https://www.varuna-sentinels.com/Future-of-Maritime-Procurement-Carbon-Transparency https://www.varuna-sentinels.com/Future-of-Maritime-Procurement-Carbon-Transparency Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Maritime Procurement Maritime procurement has run on cost alone for decades.

The HKC's Inventory of Hazardous Materials covers a narrower material list than the EU SRR; the study recommends widening the HKC inventory scope ahead of the IMO experience-building phase beginning 2027. Varuna Sentinels BV on maintaining IHM Part I against the broader EU substance list. https://www.varuna-sentinels.com/news-updates vs-news-eu-15th-european-list-emden-2026-06-30 Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 EU Ship Recycling Regulation European List of Ship Recycling Facilities Hong Kong Convention Ship Recycling The European Commission's 15th European List of Ship Recycling Facilities (adopted 27 February 2026) adds the first-ever approved German yard at Emden, taking the List to 41 facilities (30 Europe, 10 Türkiye, 1 US).
