ballast water carrying ships
may need to comply with
the Convention
► Ballast water is essential to ship stability and safety (control trim, list, draught,
stability or stresses)
► Ship may fill up to 50% of tonnage with ballast water (up to 60.000 t per single
ship)
► Estimate of sea water displaced in one year is 3-10 billion tons
► Together with water, live organisms are displaced (7.000 to 10.000 species –
flora, fauna, microbes)
► Transferred species may became invasive and cause extensive and irreversible
damage in area where they don’t have natural enemies
Administration
• the Government of the State under whose authority the ship is operating
(for ship – flag State; for floating platforms – concerned coastal State)
Ballast Water
• water with its suspended matter taken on board a ship to control trim, list,
draught, stability or stresses of the ship
Ship
• a vessel of any type whatsoever operating in the aquatic environment and
includes submersibles, floating craft, floating platforms, FSUs and FPSOs.

► De-ballasting
► Mechanical separation
stage is by-passed
► Water is pumped through
treating reactor, to
disinfect remaining or
newly grown organisms

► Reduces pressure of oxygen in space above the water with inert gas injection or by
means of a vacuum to asphyxiate the microorganisms
► Removal of oxygen may result in a decrease in corrosion propensity. If an inert gas
generator is already installed on the ship, deoxygenation plant would take up little
additional space
► Typically, the time required for organisms to be asphyxiated is between one and four days
►« Risk in failure mode » does not mean the system is « risky » but just means that the
risk needs to be addressed by appropriate solutions based on its severity and frequency
(to be quantified). Relevant FMEA should be conducted for a specific BWMS arranged
onboard one specific ship (Refer to BV NI 525 Risk Based Qualification of New
Technology Methodological Guidelines).

ROADMAP
28/10/2020
Any new installation of BWMS to
comply with revised G8
Ships constructed (keel-laid) on or after 8 September 2017 need to comply with the D-2 standard
upon delivery.
Existing ships should be D-2 compliant on the first IOPP renewal following entry into force if:
Furthermore, the ship should be D-2 compliant on the second IOPP renewal survey following entry
into force, if the first renewal survey following the date of entry into force of the convention is
completed prior to 8 September 2019 and if conditions 1 or 2 above are not met.
This means that a ship which is due for an IOPP renewal survey between 8 September 2017 and
8 September 2019 cannot decouple its IOPP survey for a second renewal before 8 September
2019 without then having to comply with the D-2 standard.
Ships constructed before 8 September 2017 and delivered (including the initial IOPP survey) after
that date, need to comply with the D-2 standard at the first IOPP renewal survey after delivery.
