Overview and Comparison of the IMO and the US Maritime Administration Ballast Water Management Regulations

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Along with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United States Maritime Administration has developed its own ballast water management legislation under the dual authority of the US Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency. The IMO

KPI (KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS) APPLICATION ON BALLAST WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM SELECTION

Brodogradnja, 2017
Every day, more than 7,000 different marine species are transferred to different ecosystems via ballast water in ships. The introduction of invasive species can cause problems for native species.

Evaluating the biological efficacy of a ballast water management system using filtration and electro-catalysis with an accurate definition of holding time

Water Science and Technology, 2021
We employed a mesoscale experimental system and enriched natural plankton communities to investigate the efficacy of a type of ballast-water management system (BWMS) that uses a combination of filtration and electro-catalysis as the treatment technology.

A spatial modeling approach to predicting the secondary spread of invasive species due to ballast water discharge. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Ballast water in ships is an important contributor to the secondary spread of invasive species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Here, we use a model previously created to determine the role ballast water management has played in the secondary spread of ...

Simultaneous Detection of Viability and Concentration of Microalgae Cells Based on Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Bright Field Dual Imaging

Micromachines, 2021
Ship ballast water contains high concentration of plankton, bacteria, and other microorganisms. If the huge amount of ballast water is discharged without being inactivated, it will definitely spell disaster to the marine environment.

Emerging risks from ballast water treatment: The run-up to the International Ballast Water Management Convention [PDF]

Chemosphere, 2014
Uptake and discharge of ballast water by ocean-going ships contribute to the worldwide spread of aquatic invasive species, with negative impacts on the environment, economies, and public health. The International Ballast Water Management Convention aims at a global answer.
