Challenges in global ballast water management
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2004Ballast water management is a complex issue raising the challenge of merging international regulations, ship's specific configurations along with ecological conservation. This complexity is illustrated in this paper by considering ballast water volume, discharge frequency, ship safety and operational issues aligned with regional characteristics to ...

Ballast water: A threat to the Amazon Basin
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014Ballast water exchange (BWE) is the most efficient measure to control the invasion of exotic species from ships. This procedure is being used for merchant ships in national and international voyages. The ballast water (BW) salinity is the main parameter to evaluate the efficacy of the mid-ocean ballast water exchange.

Ballast Water: Problems and Management
2019Harmful species transfers undoubtedly present one of the strongest man-made threats to the aquatic world. For safe operations, vessels essentially depend on ballast water in which they usually carry several species so that each vessel has the potential to transport that species and introduce it to a new area. Species are not present only in the ballast

Ballast Water Management Under the Ballast Water Management Convention
2014The importance of ballast water as a vector for moving non-indigenous species was initially addressed in a 1973 International Maritime Organization (IMO) resolution. Subsequently IMO worked towards the finalization of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention) which was adopted in ...

Ballast water sediment management in ports
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019In order to estimate the possible effects of existing ballast tank sediment management routine in ports the respective legal framework from different states was examined and the operational modes of selected Adriatic shipyards was analysed. The goal was to determine if the States' administration and ports' management are aware of risks which sediments ...

Solution to Ballast Water Problems
2003Ballast water is generally considered to be the major contributor to the transfer of harmful invasive species. The introduction of non-indigenous species into new environment can provoke economic and ecological harm throughout the world. Even though many of ballast water management techniques exist, the only technique currently used worldwide is ...
