The 17th edition has been fully revised to reflect current requirements in the management of ballast water since the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention) entered into force.
To assist ship owners with BWM Convention compliance, the book is divided into two useful volumes: Volume 1 - Regulations, Operations and Compliance and Volume 2 - BWM Systems. As well as regulatory guidance, Volume 1 includes valuable practical considerations relating to Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) selection, installation/retrofitting, onboard operation (including dealing with challenging water quality), maintenance, monitoring and reporting. Volume 2 is a thorough compilation of standardised information for BWMS that have been type approved for use on board ships.
