Introduction 


The Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) is a critical component for ensuring safety and environmental protection on board vessels. However, managing IHM compliance can be a complex and time-consuming process for maritime suppliers. The Verifavia Supplier Admin Dashboard is a software solution designed to simplify this process for both suppliers and their sub-suppliers.  
 

Key Features and Benefits 

  1. Effortless MD and SDoC Issuance: The platform facilitates the generation of Material Declarations (MDs) and Supplier's Declarations of Conformity (SDoCs) as mandated by EU Regulation 1257/2013 [2] and MEPC.379(80) [1]. 
  2. Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: Verifavia's expertise ensures all issued MDs and SDoCs comply with the latest international maritime environmental regulations, including those outlined by the IMO and the EU Regulation. 
  3. Improved Operational Efficiency: The dashboard streamlines data submission, evaluation, and document generation, demonstrably reducing processing time and administrative burdens as documented in a case study by Verifavia (reference available upon request). 
  4. Complete Transparency: The platform promotes traceability within the supply chain by requiring documentation from downstream suppliers, resulting in a comprehensive material outline onboard vessels, as mandated by MEPC.379(80) [1]. 
  5. User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive design allows maritime suppliers to navigate the platform seamlessly, and access critical functionalities, and MDs, and SDoC requests in real-time. 


Additional Considerations 

  1. Comprehensive Support: Verifavia addresses common challenges faced by suppliers, such as lack of regulatory awareness and document preparation errors, ensuring a smooth compliance process. 
  2. Customized Solutions: The platform caters to diverse supplier needs, offering functionalities for tailored MD and SDoC generation, along with product catalog reviews for IHM Part 1 relevance as defined by the IMO [1]. 
  3. Full Project Management: Verifavia's complete project option streamlines the entire IHM compliance process by liaising with sub-suppliers, collecting declarations, and granting end-client access, significantly reducing supplier workload. 


Measurable Success 


The Verifavia Supplier Admin Dashboard boasts a proven track record of success: 
  1. Over 200,000 Declarations Processed: The platform has efficiently managed a substantial volume of MDs and SDoCs. 
  2. Significant Time Savings: The automated approach translates to an estimated 390,000+ hours saved in declaration generation, reflecting substantial operational efficiency gains.
