Trend for ballast water treatment system retrofits
Maritime Technology and ResearchBallast water plays a crucial role in maintaining ship stability, yet it remains a major pathway for the spread of invasive marine species. Regulations introduced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) now require vessels to treat ballast water before discharge, prompting widespread retrofitting of treatment systems.

Ballast water treatment by membrane processes
, 2018 Non-native aquatic species can be introduced in new areas through emptying of the ballast tanks. These introductions induce a high impact on health, economy and environment. This is considered by the International Maritime Organization (IMO): the Ballast Water and Sediments (BMW Convention) entered into force on 8 September 2017 and opens the market ...
