Ten years of Brazilian ballast water management [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sea Research, 2018
Abstract In 2005, Brazil addressed the environmental challenges posed by ballast water through a unilateral regulation, called the Maritime Standard N° 20 (NORMAM-20), applied to all shipping in her waters. This world-leading decision was the culmination of a process that started during the 1990′s.

Onshore ballast water management systems: National perspectives

open access: yesANNUAL JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF VARNA, BULGARIA, 2023
The present paper focuses on ballast water management systems (BWMS) in line with the Ballast Water Management Convention, aiming to prevent marine pollution from harmful alien species transported through ships’ ballast water. Three approaches of BWMS are considered: Ballast water exchange, Onboard and Onshore systems. Solutions regarding ballast water
