Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral known for its insulating and fire-resistant properties, poses a significant threat to maritime safety. Despite a global ban on its use, many vessels built before 2011 still contain asbestos, creating potential health risks for crews, passengers, and the environment. Normec Verifavia provides specialized asbestos management services to help shipowners mitigate these risks and ensure compliance with international maritime regulations. Their comprehensive approach includes the creation of Asbestos Management Plans (AMPs), collaborative asbestos resampling with accredited laboratories, certified asbestos removal, and responsible disposal through environmentally certified facilities. With a 100% dispensation success rate for developed AMPs, Normec Verifavia stands as a trusted partner for over 450 asbestos-related projects, including successful asbestos removal, disposal, and resampling activities. Utilizing their global network of specialists, shipowners can ensure regulatory compliance, safety, and cost-effectiveness in asbestos handling.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its insulating and fire-resistant properties, which poses a severe threat to maritime safety. Although a global ban on its use is in place, many vessels built before 2011 still contain asbestos, which can potentially harm the crew, passengers, and the environment. Fortunately, with proper asbestos handling measures, shipowners can efficiently manage this risk while ensuring compliance with regulations.

The International Maritime Organization recognizes this threat and has implemented strict regulations through the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
