Ballast Water Management Under the Ballast Water Management Convention

2014
The 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 alternatives

2022
To eliminate the introduction of foreign marine species which are nowadays the main concern and reason for the introduction of ballast treatment systems, a new concept in ship design was developed as an alternative. Most of them are still more theoretical than practical, except one concept.

Ballast water sediment elemental analysis

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2016
Sediment samples from the ballast water tanks of ships calling at the port of Rijeka in the Northern Adriatic were analysed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) using caesium, argon and oxygen ion beams.

Ballast Water: Problems and Management

2019
Harmful 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

Challenges in global ballast water management

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2004
Ballast 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 sediment management in ports

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019
In 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 ...
