Germany's Oldendorff Carriers has made light of Covid-19 restrictions by completing its inventory of hazardous material (IHM) work early.
The process for identifying such materials across the 700-strong fleet was automated with help from tech companies GSR Services and NautilusLog.
The deadline for the new European rules on listing materials was 31 December, but in October, TradeWinds reported that owners could take advantage of a six-month extension due to coronavirus restrictions.
