Subject to point (b) of Article 32(2), when the inventory of hazardous materials is developed it shall identify, at least, the hazardous materials listed in Annex I.

The inventory of hazardous materials shall:

(a)

(c)

be compiled taking into account the relevant IMO guidelines;

The inventory of hazardous materials shall consist of three parts:

(a)

a list of hazardous materials referred to in Annexes I and II, in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, and contained in the structure or equipment of the ship, with an indication of their location and approximate quantities (Part I);

a list of the operationally generated waste present on board the ship (Part II);
