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

Risk Assessment in Ballast Water Management
2014The risk assessment (RA) developed according to the BWM Convention is the most recently agreed global RA for bioinvasions. It was developed to enable a selective ballast water management (BWM) approach according to the BWM Convention and the G7 Guidelines. It describes three different BWM RA methods, “environmental matching”, “species’ biogeographical”
