Ballast water management by Lloyd’s Registry
When the IMO’s Ballast Water Management Convention enters into force it will impose a number of requirements on ship owners and operators, and more recently the USCG has also introduced regulations. For many ships the most practical way to comply with these new regulations will be to install a ballast water treatment system. However other alternative compliance options may be suitable for certain ship types and trades. Our consultancy services and online guidance can help you understand the regulations and support you in deciding how best to respond.
Your challenge
The uncertainty in knowing when the regulations on ballast water management will enter-into-force and how to plan for it mean it is difficult to make decisions to prepare your ships ahead of compliance. To add to this, for vessels which trade in US waters, there are requirements to comply with US national regulations on ballast water management.
