Overcome barriers:
Boost technological innovation
Stimulate maritime industry (ca 40% BWT
systems)
Common standards / uniform implementation
Involvement of stakeholders (public & private)
Knowledge exchange and dedicated research
Develop expertise and knowledge center

Future
ballast water unavoidable cost factor
revision of BWM Convention based on current expertise
and results
the Phase-2 standard of the USCG
focus on tools for Compliance Enforcement and monitoring
(indicative vs full scale sampling)
exceptional ballasting ships
time for second generation of BWT systems
greensolutions, low energy, no active substances
solve a major hurdle: filters (needed or not)
The ultimate
test
Thankyouforyourattention

Sorry about the rant, I promise any future
emails will be much more positive.
