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 ...

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: 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”
