Foreword
Foreword
Noting the on going efforts to enhance the protection of the marine environment, and the occupational health and safety related to the recycling of ships, IMO, with the assistance of industry organizations, has developed Guidelines on Ship Recycling.
The stated objectives of the IMO promulgated guidelines are to:
i) Encourage recycling as the best means to dispose of ships at the end of their operating lives.
ii) Provide guidance in respect to the preparation of ships for recycling and minimizing the use of potentially hazardous materials and waste generation during a ship’s operating life.
iii) Encourage all stakeholders to address the issue of ship recycling.
Essential to successfully achieving these objectives and to enable a more comprehensive management of hazardous substances utilized in the construction of the ship, the operationally generated waste, and stores, through continued awareness throughout the ship’s operating life is the development and maintenance of a document referred to as a “Green Passport”.
This Guide provides for the review, approval and issuance of the initial Green Passport for new construction, existing ships and for the maintenance, verification and endorsement of the issued Green Passport for a ship in service.
The application of this Guide is optional. However, recognizing the ongoing efforts of the maritime community, designers, Owners and operators are encouraged to apply this Guide.

Section 1: Introduction
S E C T I O N 1 Introduction
1 General
The importance of an inventory detailing the amount and location of hazardous materials which have been used in the construction and operations of ships is increasingly recognized as a means to enhance onboard safety and environmental awareness, both through-out the ships economic life and when the ship is being prepared for recycling.
This Guide has been developed with the objective of assisting designers, equipment suppliers, builders and Owners in the practical and reasonable formulation and maintenance of this inventory.
2 Application
This Guide is applicable to new and existing ships for which the optional Green Passport notation GP has been requested. Obtaining this notation will assist in complying with Section 5 of IMO Resolution A.962(23), “IMO Guidelines of Ship Recycling”, as amended by IMO Resolution A.980(24) “Amendments to the IMO Guidelines On Ship Recycling”.
3 Scope
This Guide has been developed with the objective of promoting the industry’s ongoing commitment to providing for the safe working conditions of the ship’s crew, the marine environment and the in recognition of the maritime community efforts, as stake holder, to assist in the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships. The Guide includes information on inventorying hazardous materials on new or existing vessels, conducting verification surveys, issuance of certificates and notations, as well as maintaining the inventory and retaining the Green Passport and Certifications. See Section 1, Figure 1.
4 Notation
Ships which have had the ship details and Part 1 of the Inventory of their Green Passport (see Subsection 2/2 of this Guide) prepared and certified to the requirements of this Guide to the satisfaction of the Surveyors to the Bureau will be eligible to receive the ABS Notation GP (Green Passport). The requirements in this Guide for the purpose of securing the GP Notation are additional to all other relevant requirements of the ABS Rules and Guides.

ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2008 5
Section 2: General Guidance
S E C T I O N 2 General Guidance
1 Introduction
The identification, location and quantity of hazardous materials and potentially hazardous materials onboard ships is an essential ingredient in facilitating the protection of the ship’s crew when performing routine maintenance and repair, as well as workers at the recycling facility and the environment where the facility is located. Having this information readily available will enable the ship’s crew and the workers at the recycling facility to exercise the appropriate precautions if at risk of exposure to these materials.
2 Format
The Green Passport for ships is comprised of two components as follows.
2.1 Ship Details The first component of the Green Passport is referred to as the “Ship Details”, and includes the following:
• The name of the ship • The ship’s IMO number • Builder, builder’s address and hull number • Type of ship • Principal dimensions (LOA, Breadth (molded) Depth (molded)). • Lightship displacement. • Flag state, port of registry, date of registry • Owner’s name and address • Classification Society(ies)
See Subsection 5/4 for an acceptable equivalent to the above.
2.2 Inventory The second component of the Green Passport is the actual inventory of the hazardous and potentially hazardous materials, containing the location, the approximate quantity/volume of each identified material on board the ship. This inventory is divided into the following parts.
• Part 1: Hazardous or potentially hazardous materials/substances utilized in the ship’s structure and equipment/systems.
• Part 2: Operationally generated waste
• Part 3: Stores
Section 2 General Guidance
6 ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2008
Preparation of Part 1 is to be based on the listing of those materials/substances considered to be hazardous or potentially hazardous as found in Appendix 1. See Subsections 3/3 and 4/2 of this Guide.
Part 2 – Operationally Generated Waste, and Part 3 Stores, are to be prepared by the ship Owner prior to or during the final voyage to the recycling facility. (References to Parts 2 and 3 of the Green Passport’s Inventory are intended for informational purposes only and are outside the scope of the class notation.)
Appendix 2 of this Guide is a representative format for the inventory component of the Green Passport
3 Survey
Once an inventory for a vessel has been developed, an auditing survey by an ABS Surveyor is to be carried out to generally verify that the locations and the approximate quantity/volume of hazardous material detailed on the inventory reflect those found on the vessel. An annual survey is also to be conducted to confirm that the inventory reflects any modifications, repairs or changes to the vessel that involve the removal or addition of hazardous materials.
4 Maintenance
The Green Passport is to remain onboard the ship throughout it’s operating life and each Owner is to enact the necessary steps to maintain the accuracy of the Green Passport, which includes the incorporation of all relevant design and equipment changes. The final Owner of the ship when delivering the ship to the recycling facility is to present the Green Passport to the appropriate recycling facility personnel.
ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2008 7
Section 3: New Construction Vessels
S E C T I O N 3 New Construction Vessels
1 Introduction
Throughout a ship’s design and construction, designers and builders are to exercise environmental judgment in the selection of all materials and substances to be incorporated into the ship’s structure and equipment. As a first step, the design and build team is to identify, based on Appendix 1, Tables 1 and 2, any hazardous or potentially hazardous materials that are intended to be utilized and carefully consider using less environmentally hazardous materials. Simply stated, if the opportunity exists to use less hazardous materials in the construction, without compromising safety or operational efficiency, it should be considered by the design and build team or recommended to the ship Owner/operator as appropriate.
2 Prohibited or Restricted Materials
Substances known to be hazardous which are prohibited or restricted by national regulation and various international agreements and conventions are not to be used in the construction. Examples of these substances and the corresponding statutory instruments are detailed in Section 3, Table 1 below:
TABLE 1
Substances Agreement/Convention Asbestos 1974 SOLAS – 2000 Amendments (Reg II-1/3-5) Organotin Compounds which act as biocides in anti-fouling systems (tributyltins (TBT’s), Triphenyltins (TET’s) and tributyltins Oxide (TBTO’s))
International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships 2001
Ozone Depleting Substances, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s)
MARPOL Annex VI Reg 12 & Montreal Protocol
Ploychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP’s) (Part II)
3 Part 1 of the Green Passport’s Inventory
Upon completion of the material selection process, Part 1 of the Green Passport’s Inventory is to be prepared by the shipbuilder. Where the substances listed in Appendix 1, Tables 1 and 2 have been added to the vessel above the threshold levels specified in Appendix 1, Table 3, their identity, location and quantity are to be incorporated into Part 1 of the inventory.
Documentation in the form of drawings or tables noting the use of hazardous materials, quantity, and location are to be submitted to the ABS Plan Review Office for review. At the ship builders option each drawing submitted is to be annotated in such a manner as to detail the use of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials thereon.
Section 3 New Construction Vessels
8 ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2008
4 Vendor Supplied Equipment and Materials
Shipbuilders are to work closely with all their suppliers such that all equipment provided is environmentally safe or specifically itemized on the inventory. These suppliers are to confirm that those substances identified in Section 3, Table 1 above have not been incorporated in the supplied equipment, machinery, or paints. In those instances where the suppliers provide equipment or materials containing hazardous or potentially hazardous substances listed in Appendix 1, Tables 1 and 2 above the threshold values specified in Appendix 1, Table 3, a declaration detailing the specific substances including the system/item, the substance, amount of substance and the manufacturer is to be presented to the shipbuilder for the preparation of the Part 1 of the Inventory as referred to in Subsection 3/3 above.
ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2008 9
Section 4: Existing Vessels
S E C T I O N 4 Existing Vessels
1 Introduction
Many materials and substances which were previously assumed to be non hazardous and selected for installation onboard ships, , are no longer being utilized, or have since been identified as being hazardous. To assist in safeguarding the ship’s crew, and workers involved in ship recycling, as well as the marine environment, documenting the location and approximate volume/quantity of materials currently classified as hazardous or potentially hazardous is to be achieved to the greatest degree possible.
It is recognized that it is often not possible to accurately define, identify or locate specific hazardous or potentially hazardous materials onboard existing ships due to their concealment or unknown locations.
2 Part 1 of the Green Passport’s Inventory
Development of Part 1 of the Green Passport’s Inventory for an exiting vessel is the responsibility of the ship Owner.
The development of the Inventory is to be viewed as a multi-phase process and may consist of any or all of the following steps, depending on the results achieved
2.1 Review of Available Documentation Ship Owners are encouraged to review the ship’s files, including drawings, technical specifications and vendor supplied information/data with a view to locate if any hazardous or potentially hazardous materials/substances indicated in Appendix 1, Tables 1 and 2, above the threshold values in Appendix 1, Table 3, have been utilized in the construction or outfitting of the ship.
This initial review should be used in the systematic development of a Survey/Sampling Plan to be employed in the practical implementation of completing the required inventory, see 4/2.3 below.
Utilizing additional information sources, such as the shipyard files, sister ship files, ABS files or contacting equipment suppliers should also be considered.
2.2 Interview the Ship’s Crew Often the ship’s crew can provide assistance as to the location of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials on board as a result of the in depth ship specific knowledge developed from carrying out or witnessing repairs and maintenance. Additionally the crew may provide valuable information associated with equipment replacement or modifications.
Section 4 Existing Vessels
10 ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2008
2.3 Development of a Survey/Sampling Plan Taking into consideration the information obtained from the documentation review and discussions with the ship’s crew a detailed survey and sampling plan is to be developed. The goal of the survey and sampling is to assist in determining where hazardous or potentially hazardous materials may be located.
A copy of the survey/sampling plan is to be submitted to ABS for review and acknowledgement.
2.4 Sampling of Substances/Materials Potentially Containing Hazardous Materials by an External Specialist Consideration may be given, by the ship Owner, to the use of sampling to identify substances/materials potentially containing hazardous materials to assist in the development of Part 1 of the Inventory. An external specialist having specific knowledge in the means of how to take material samples and preventative measures to be taken to avoid cross contamination may be retained by the ship Owner.
Upon completion of the sampling process, the material/substances are to be forwarded for testing to a recognized testing laboratory.
In those instances where there is uncertainty relative to the presence of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials, the material or substance is to be considered as a hazard and a sample is to be obtained in accordance with the typical sampling procedures.
Upon completion of the sampling processes the materials or equipment from which the samples have been extracted, are to be sealed so as to reduce the possible risk of exposure to the crew and others.
ABS Surveyors are not to risk themselves to possible exposure during the sampling or testing procedures.
2.5 Declaration of Materials or Equipment as Likely to Contain Hazardous or Potentially Hazardous Substances The ship Owner may at his or her discretion, with the concurrence of the attending Surveyor, classify various materials and equipment as “containing hazardous substances” without further investigating or testing.
2.6 Review and Incorporation of Recognized External Laboratory Reports Any reports issued by a recognized testing laboratory, utilized to complete Part 1 of the Inventory are to be retained onboard and to be presented to the attending surveyor to support the details annotated on Part 1 of the Inventory.
2.7 Document Submission Part 1 of the Green Passport’s Inventory for existing ships prepared by the ship Owner, along with the supporting documentation including, the results of the Owner’s evaluation of the available information and any material/substance testing reports are to be presented to the attending Surveyor.
Any limitations regarding the scope of laboratory reports or prepared inventory are to be stated.
ABS GUIDE FOR THE CLASS NOTATION GREEN PASSPORT (GP) . 2008 11
Section 5: Certification, Maintenance and Survey
S E C T I O N 5 Certification, Maintenance and Survey
1 Introduction
The inventory of hazardous and potentially hazardous materials for ships of new constriction and existing ships, are to be developed by the shipyard or ship Owner respectively, and submitted to ABS for review and acknowledgement.
The hazardous or potentially hazardous materials/substances are to be suitably marked on board the ship to alert all parties of their presence and to facilitate random verification of the submitted documentation by an ABS Surveyor.
2 Certification
Upon completion of the verification surveys, the initial Green Passport, consisting of the ship details and the Part 1 is accepted and a certificate issued. The GP Notation is then included in the ABS Record.
3 Maintenance of the Green Passport
Part 1 of the Green Passport’s Inventory is to be maintained throughout the ship’s life and placed on board the ship. The removal, replacement, or repair of existing equipment or substances previously detailed in Part 1 or the addition of relevant new equipment or substances is to be carefully tracked and is to be specified in the Inventory and suitably marked on board. Any changes to Part 1 of the inventory are to be recorded so as to provide the current information together with a history of the changes.
An annual verification survey is to be carried out in the course of completing other periodical surveys. Any changes to the materials in the Green Passport’s inventory should be noted by the ship’s crew and verified by the attending Surveyor. Upon satisfactory review and verification, the Green Passport certificate will be endorsed.
4 Retention of Green Passport
The Green Passport’s Inventory is to be retained on board the ship and is to be presented to each subsequent Owner, including those instances where the flag, or type of service changes. Any changes relating to the ship details are to be recorded and updated accordingly. The Continuous Synopsis Record, as detailed in SOLAS Reg XI-1/5, when combined with the Certificate of Build, as produced by the ship builder are considered as equivalent to the ship details section of the Green Passport, provided a copy is attached to the Inventory.
