2 – PURPOSE
The Ballast Water Management Plan (BWMP) has been created in order to minimize
the risk of transplanting harmful aquatic organism into new environment, (as shipping
worldwide transfers approximately 3 to 5 billion tons of ballast water each year).
These invasive marine species (as many as 10 000 different species) have been
identified as one of the 4 greatest threats to oceans. (The other 3 are land based sources of
marine pollution, overexploitation of living marine resources and physical
alteration/destruction of marine habitat).
These invasive marine species can travel in ship’s ballast waters, attached to ship’s
hull or via other vectors (anchors, chains…).
These bacteria, plant-planktons and zoo-planktons can survive several weeks in
vessel’s ballast. Therefore, there is a risk of pollution even after a long voyage.
BWM Convention has entered into force and all ships are required to have on board an
approved Ballast Water Management Plan, a Ballast Water Record Book and an International
Ballast Water Management Certificate. For ships whose flag administration has not ratified
the BWM Convention a certificate or statement of compliance can be issued.

The CHIEF OFFICER is responsible for the management of water ballasts.
 Ensures that procedures are followed up,
 Takes care that safety aspects of operations are strictly respected,
 Prepares reporting, declarations if any,
 Keeps ballast log book,
 Is informed and keeps the Master informed of regulations,
 Is available in case of Port State Control inspection,
 Organizes the familiarization and training of crew members within the scope of the
ballast water management requirements
The MASTER has the responsibility to ensure safety of the crew, passengers and of the
vessel as well as the ship’s stability.
4.1 MIMIZING THE UPTAKE OF HARMFUL AQUATIC ORGANISMS,
PATHOGENS AND SEDIMENTS
When loading ballast, every effort should be made to avoid the uptake of potentially
harmful aquatic organisms, pathogens, and sediment that may contain such organisms. The
uptake of ballast water should be minimized or, where practicable, avoided in areas and
situations such as:
- in darkness when organisms may rise up in the water column;
- in very shallow water;
- where propellers may stir up sediment; or
- where dredging is or recently has been carried out.
- in areas identified by the port states, as shown in paragraph below.
BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
To assist ships in applying the precautionary practices, port States should inform local
agents and/or the ship of areas and situations where the uptake of ballast water should be
minimized, such as:
- areas with outbreaks, infestations or known populations of harmful organisms
and pathogens;
- areas with current phytoplankton blooms (algal blooms, such as red tides);
- nearby sewage outfalls;
- nearby dredging operations;
- when a tidal stream is known to be the more turbid;
- areas where tidal flushing is known to be poor,
-nearby or in sensitive or estuarine sea areas.
4.2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Particular attention should be paid to:

- Health and safety issues related to the handling and storage of chemicals and/or
other active substances, where applicable,
- Use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which should be kept
available in vicinity of chemical storage/handling places.
- Avoiding accidental discharge of hazardous materials to the environment,
- Safety issues associated with the ballast water treatment system installed on board,
- Material Safety Data Sheet for any chemicals/active substances used or generated
during the treatment process, where applicable,
- Emergency procedures and by-pass arrangements in case of ballast water treatment
system malfunction.
Where applicable, the IMO Circular BWM.2/Circ.20 Guidance to Ensure Safe

Handling and Storage of Chemicals and Preparations Used to Treat Ballast Water and the
Development of Safety Procedures for Risks to the Ship and Crew Resulting from the
Treatment Process is to be taken into consideration.
The operation of the installed ballast water treatment system should only be carried
out within the system’s design limitations and in accordance with the operational instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
UV lamps contain a small amount of mercury (less than 0.2 gr per lamp) and must be
handled and disposed of with care. Used UV lamps can be handled and disposed of in the
same way as fluorescent lamps. Please refer to national regulations. If a UV lamp has
accidentally been broken, mercury could split. Remove mercury with a special tool such as a
syringe or use pure Sulphur to bind the mercury for easy collection).
- Do not allow mercury to come in contact with your eyes or skin. Do not inhale
mercury fumes.
- Free mercury must be kept in an airtight bottle and must be disposed of according
to national regulations.
- In case of having inhaled mercury fumes, consult a doctor and follow medical
instructions.

4.2.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Manufacturer Name Desmi Ocean Guard

Model Name BWMS CC 750 NEX LCD
Technology UV+ Filter
Operation Required During Ballasting, De-Ballasting & Stripping
TRC (Capacity in M3/hr) 750 M3/hr
Installation Location Engine Room
Type Approval Certificate No. 60207/A1 BV
TAC issued by BV
Number of ballast pumps to be used TWO Ballast Pump
simultaneously
Desmi Ocean Guard, CC 750 NEX LCD is a treatment system specifically designed
for inactivation and elimination of organisms contained in ballast water, in order to comply
with the IMO D-2 standard for discharge of such water by vessels during their operations.
System is operated from a control panel, which starts the automated ballasting,
deballasting or stripping processes. Operation (automatic or manual) is controlled through
PLC and monitoring equipment (UV sensors, temperature sensor, pressure sensors, flow
meter, conductometer).
The system combines two technologies:
Mechanical Filtration:
The objective of the filtration is to retain the suspended particles, organic or not,
present in the sea water at uptake, with a 25μm screen. The filtrate is flushed out of the filter,
thanks to automatic cleaning, and the filtered organisms are sent back to the local water.
Ultraviolet Disinfection:
Without any addition of active substances, nor creation of by-products, the UV-C light
inactivates the microorganisms present in the water (bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton).
The Desmi Ocean Guard treatment system is intended to be operated at every ballasting and
deballasting operations, according to the ballast water management plan of the vessel.
At the end of each operation, a cleaning cycle is triggered in order to flush and refill
the complete system with fresh water.
BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
Bypassing the BWTS
Bypassing of the BWTS (including bypass due to gravity filling or discharge of tanks)
is not allowed under normal circumstances and the control system of the BWTS should trig an
alarm.
Should bypassing become necessary due to technical defects of the BWTS or because
full pumping capacity of the installed ballast water pumps is needed in an emergency
situation, an entry has to be made in the ballast water record book explaining the
circumstances of the bypass.
Unusual speed of cargo operations is not to be considered an emergency.
Treatment is not required for internal transfer, but such operations will be recorded.
System configuration
Treatment components
The treatment stages of Desmi Ocean Guard, CC 750 NEX LCD are integrated into
the ballast water piping as inline components, which simplifies both newbuild and retrofit
installations.
 Filter
 Reactor
Support components
The additional components are support systems that can be flexibly placed for
an optimal design.
 Main Panel
 Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) Module
 Main Panel
 External Control Panel
 Frequency Converter
A broad range of auxiliary equipment is available to support integration into any

vessel, including backflush pumps, sampling points, valve packages and remote control
panels.
Capacity range
The size of a Desmi Ocean Guard, CC 750 NEX LCD system is determined by the
capacity of the ballast water pumps it is used with. An optimal configuration is achieved by
matching a reactor setup and filter capacity to the vessel’s discharge needs and required
ballast water flow.
Single systems handle ballast water flows of 19-750 m3/h, and multiple systems can
be used for even larger capacities.
Desmi Ocean Guard, CC 750 NEX LCD is a treatment system specifically designed
for inactivation and elimination of organisms contained in ballast water, in order to comply
with the IMO D-2 standard for discharge of such water by vessels during their operations.

4.2.3 MAIN OPERATIONS
The system is only to be operated in accordance with the system design criteria and
manufacturer's operational and maintenance instructions (including limitation of the system)
given in: - AB 002 OMSM Main Manual
- AB A27 DOG Installation & Maintenance Manuals
System is to be operated in accordance with the system design criteria and the
manufacturer’s operational and maintenance instructions which are detailed in ANNEX 1
“VESSEL'S SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES (including BWTS)”.
Any failures and malfunctions of the system are to be recorded in the Ballast Water
Record Book.
In case ballast water is being taken in a US port or in case ballast is destined for
discharge in a US port, the operating mode of the BWTS has to be switched to “USCG
mode”. In case ballast is taken in a non-US port and also not destined for discharge in a US
port, the BWTS is to be operated in “IMO mode”. As the operating mode influences the
power output of the UV lamps, “IMO mode” should be employed whenever possible.
Ballasting
During ballasting, both operations of filtration and UV disinfection are carried out:
During the ballasting operation, the outlet control valve allows the flow through the
system to be always below the maximum treatment rate of the system (TRC).
Backwash water discharge should be rejected directly to the sea.
Two ballast water pump is possible to be used at a time for ballasting.

Flow will be reduced to allowable flow rate by flow regulation valve.
BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
De-ballasting
During de-ballasting, only UV disinfection is completed (the filter is by-passed).

This allows retreating the water, after retention and/or mixing with other water volumes in the
ship's ballast tanks during voyage, in order to eliminate any possible biological
recontamination, and to ensure compliance with the regulations for discharge of ballast water.
During the deballasting operation, the outlet control valve allows the flow through the
system to be always below the maximum treatment rate of the system (TRC).
When tanks are almost empty, deballasting is still possible with stripping.
Two ballast water pump is possible to be used at a time for de-ballasting.

Flow will be reduced to allowable flow rate by flow regulation valve.
Stripping
Vessel also has stripping eductor for ballast tanks. According to classification rules
also stripping water should be treated with BWTS and this requires separate pipeline from
stripping overboard discharge line to BWTS.
Treatment is applied also during stripping operation, using the eductor.
Driving water from firefighting pump 1 is filtered and then piped to educator. Mixed water
from educator is treaded in UV reactor and dumped to overboard.
BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
Cleaning
At the end of each operation, a cleaning cycle is triggered to flush and refill the
complete system with fresh water. Deposits on quartz sleeves can also be cleaned punctually
with a CIP option. This device can be automatic or manual use acid citric solution.
In order to easily apply the descaling liquid to the BWMS, a container for such
purpose is built in the piping system. The CIP mode pumps the descaling liquid through the
UV Unit.
In order to achieve the treatment objectives and avoid flow limitations it is

recommended to run the CIP operations:
1) Before a ballast and De-ballast operations
2) If the operator experiences unusual low UV-I measurements of low flow
Fresh Water Flushing
Prior to using the built in CIP the BWMS also feature a fresh water flushing system
that can help protect the system from corrosion and any built up minerals. If the system is not
system to be operated for 48 hours, it is strongly recommended to drain the system completely
and refill it with fresh water.
NOTE: After using Ballast stripping eductor for Bilge operation, all components (Pipes
and Eductor) must be flush cleaned before using BWTS system. A warning signboard
shall be provided at the Eductor

4.3 - CONTINGENCY MEASURES IN CASE BWTS IS NOT OPERATIONAL

According to BWM.2/Circ.62 “Guidance on contingency measures under the BWM Convention”.
Contingency measure means a process undertaken on a case-by-case basis after a

determination that ballast water to be discharged from a ship is not compliant, in order to
allow ballast water to be managed such that it does not pose any unacceptable risks to the
environment, human health, property and resources.
The goal of this Guidance is to support ships and port States to apply practical
measures in the case of a ship unable to manage ballast water in accordance with its approved
Ballast Water Management plan to meet the D-2 standard in the event of BWTS (or Ballast
Water Management System - BWMS) failure, with a view to ensuring the protection of the
marine environment and ship, safety and minimizing any impacts on the continuity of port
and ship operations.
Lack of consumables (chemicals for disinfection, U/V lamps, common spares…) are
not valid grounds to claim that a BWTS/BWMS is inoperable. Sufficient stock is to be
maintained on board.
The following communications are to be performed in the event of the BWTS failure:
1. The responsible Officer should report the defect to the Company using the
SMS forms Defect Report and Report of Notification.
2. The Company should report the BWTS failure to Flag Administration, Class
Society and BWTS manufacturer.
BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
 If vessel is proceeding to the US, QI is also to be informed about defect.
3. Based on feedback from all parties, the Company should agree on a BWTS
Repair Plan which would include all relevant supporting information,
including historical failure and a schedule with a specific timeline for the repair
to be completed.
4. The Company or responsible Officer should submit a Ballast Water

Contingency Measure Request Form to the Port State authority where the
ballast water is intended to be discharged. The Ballast Water Contingency
Measure Request Form should include a copy of the BWTS Defect Report,
the BWTS Repair Plan and any other relevant documentation regarding the
incident (see Part D: Ballast Water Contingency Measure Request Form).
 If vessel is proceeding to the US, request form is to be sent to the dedicated Captain of
the Port (COTP) (33 CFR151.1515 and 151.2040) NOT to the USCG Environmental
Standards Division, National Ballast Information Clearinghouse (NBIC) or any other
entity. If a vessel is calling at multiple US ports in different COTP zones, reports
should be made to each COTP.
5. Based on the previous points, the Company should confirm to the ship which
Contingency Measure is to be undertaken and provide any additional guidance
or instructions necessary to fulfil the requirements.
The following contingency measures are considered practical management options to be

taken in the event a BWTS fails on a vessel.
 Discharging ballast water to another ship or to an appropriate shipboard or

land-based reception facility, if available.
 Managing the ballast water or a portion of it in accordance with a method
acceptable to the port State.
 Ballast water exchange carried out to an approved plan in accordance with
regulation B-4 to meet the standard in regulation D-1.
 Operational actions, such as modifying sailing or ballast water discharge
schedules, internal transfer of ballast water or the retention of ballast water on
board the ship. The port State and the ship should consider any safety issues
and avoid possible undue delays.
BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
4.3.1 BALLAST WATER EXCHANGE
According to Regulation B-4 and D-1 of “The Convention”.

Ballast water exchange (Dilution method) can also be used for this vessel as
contingency measure to meet the standard described in regulation D-1. Ballast Water
exchange can be performed by 3 different methods:
Sequential method / Dilution method / “Flow-through” method
“Sequential method” consists in first emptying, then re-filling the ballast tank, with
an efficiency of, at least, 95% volumetric of ballast water. This method is not applicable on
board
The sequential method is an effective way of prohibiting the transfer of harmful
aquatic organism. However, this method requires careful planning and monitoring by ship’s
staff. Each step has to meet stability, strength, trim and draught requirements while changing
ballast, and to maintain the bridge visibility and propeller immersion within tolerable limits
In order to remove as much sediment as possible it is highly recommended to fill up to
10-15% of capacity after pumping out of the ballast and then to pump out again with ballast
pump and ejector
“Dilution method” consists in a process by which replacement ballast water is filled

through the top of ballast tank with simultaneous discharge from the bottom at the same flow
rate and maintaining a constant level in the tank. (see below part 4.3.4 - SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR BALLAST WATER EXCHANGE).
“Flow-through” method consists in over filling the tank by pumping additional water
3 times the volume. This method is not applicable on board this vessel as air pipes are not
designed for continuous ballast water overflow.
According to “BWM Convention” regulation B-4:
1 A ship conducting Ballast Water exchange to meet the standard in regulation D-1 shall:
.1 Whenever possible, conduct such Ballast Water exchange at least 200 nautical miles
from the nearest land and in water at least 200 m in depth.
.2 In cases where the ship is unable to conduct Ballast Water exchange in accordance
with paragraph 1/, such Ballast Water exchange shall be conducted as far from the
nearest land as possible, and in all cases at least 50 nautical miles from the nearest
land and in water at least 200 m in depth.
2 In sea areas where the distance from the nearest land or the depth does not meet the
parameters described in paragraph 1.1 or 1.2, the port State may designate areas, in
consultation with adjacent or other States, as appropriate, where a ship may conduct Ballast
Water exchange, taking into account the Guidelines described in paragraph 1.1
3 A ship shall not be required to deviate from its intended voyage, or delay the voyage, in
order to comply with any particular requirement of paragraph 1.
BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
4.3.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR BALLAST WATER EXCHANGE

When applying the dilution method by means of a piping ring system it is compelling that the
filling degree of the tanks remains constant during the procedure. Any decrease of the filling
degree could reduce the stability of the vessel (loss of mass and effect of free surfaces).
Adequate provision should be made to avoid the risk of under or over-pressurisation of ballast
tanks and ballast piping caused failure of suction pump while the filling pump is working, by
blockages in air pipes or using excessive pumping rates relative to the design of the ballast
system.
In case the filling pump fails while suction pump is working the tank filling level decreases
with the effect that the loading condition changes which implies that the safety consideration
of the sequential method would need to be considered.
It is recommended that low level alarms are provided in the BW tanks which are independent
of the tank level indication system. The position of such alarms for double bottom tanks
should be at 95%, for side wing tanks, L- or U-shaped tanks should be at 90% filling degree.
A permanent control of the filling level of the tanks is recommended.
4.4 SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT
Water taken up as vessels' ballast can contain solid alluvial matter that, once the water is
becalmed in a vessel’s ballast tank, will settle out onto the bottom of the tank and other
internal structures.
Aquatic organisms can also settle out of the ballast water and can continue to exist within the
sediment. These organisms can survive for long periods after the water they were originally in
has been discharged. They may thereby be transported from their natural habitat and
discharged in another port or area where they may cause injury or damage to the environment,
human health, property and resources.
4.4.1General requirements
All practical steps should be taken during ballast uptake to avoid sediment accumulation, it is however
recognised that sediment will be taken on board and settle on tank surfaces.
The volume of the sediment should be monitored on a regular basis.
Sediment in ballast tanks should be removed in a timely basis and as found necessary. The frequency
and timing of removal will depend on factors such as sediment build up, vessel’s trading pattern,
availability of reception facilities, work load of the vessel’s personnel and safety considerations.
4.4.2 Disposal of sediments to shore
Removal of sediment from ballast tanks should preferably be undertaken under controlled conditions
in port, at a repair facility or in dry dock. The removed sediment should preferably be disposed of in a
sediment reception facility if available, reasonable and practicable.
One should be aware that sediments lying undisturbed for some time may give off toxic gases and
appropriate measures must be taken to protect the crew carrying out the job.
BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
4.4.3 Disposal of sediments at sea
When sediment is removed from the vessel’s ballast tanks and is to be disposed of by that vessel at
sea, such disposal should only take place in areas outside 200nm from land and in water depths of over
200m.
Part of the mud may be removed by water movement within a tank to bring sediments to suspension.
In double bottom tanks this is achieved by filling clean water 0.5-1-meter sounding in mild weather
conditions and keeping it for about 6 hours before pumping it out.
In addition, the Master may decide to store the sediments onboard the vessel when this will not
hamper the security and operational maintenance of the vessel, her cargo and the crew. The sediments
must then be disposed of as described in 4.4.2 and above in this paragraph.
Special care is to be taken if ballast water has been carried in spaces designated for other purposes,
such as fuel, oil, fresh water tanks etc. More stringent requirements for disposal of the sediments are to
be considered depending upon the final mixture, e.g. if ballast water is carried in the fuel tanks.
4.5 LOCAL REQUIREMENTS - COMMUNICATION
Master and appointed ballast water management Officer are to be well informed
regarding local regulations of vessel’s specific trade (ex: ROPME area, US, Brasil, Norway,
Australia…). Updated local regulations, dedicated reporting forms and dedicated reporting
procedures will be sent by Company and are to be kept available in “ANNEX 3 - VESSEL'S
TRADE REGULATION”.
In order to operate properly the ballast exchanges, Master and designated Officer
should obtain from Port State Authorities information concerning local requirements, facilities
and best practices:
- Location and terms of use of designated areas

- Specific requirements
- How to act in emergency situations according to local contingencies
- Reception facilities
- Areas with outbreaks, infestations of harmful organisms
- Areas with phytoplankton blooms
- Nearby sewage outfalls
- Area with turbid tidal stream
- Areas with poor tidal flow
- Areas close to sensitive or estuarine sea
5 – BALLAST WATER RECORD BOOK

According to Regulation B-2 of “BWM Convention”.
Each operation concerning Ballast Water shall be fully recorded without delay in the
Ballast Water record book. Each entry shall be signed by the Officer in charge of the
operation concerned and each completed page shall be signed by the master. The entries in the
Ballast Water record book shall be in a working language of the ship.
Any failures and malfunctions of BWTS are to be recorded in the Ballast Water
Record Book. When a ship is required to conduct Ballast Water exchange and does not do so

in accordance with regulation B-4, the reasons shall be entered in the Ballast Water record
book.
Ballast Water record book may be an electronic record system; however this method
should ensure record of signatures of Officers for each operation and of Master.
Ballast Water record book entries shall be maintained on board the ship for a
minimum period of five years and shall be kept readily available for inspection at all
reasonable times and, in the case of an unmanned ship under tow, may be kept on the towing
ship.
The control equipment of the ballast water treatment system is able to store data for at
least 24 months. The requirements for type approval are that the control equipment should be
able to display or print a record for official inspections as required. In the event the control
equipment is replaced, means should be provided to ensure the data recorded prior to
replacement remains available on board for 24 months.

BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
Compliance with ballast water performance standard (D-2) should be assessed at

ballast water discharge, as near to the point of discharge as practicable, during ballast water
discharge whenever this is possible. In-tank sampling to provide an indication of compliance
with standard D-2 should only be used if ballast water treatment process occurs on uptake,
prior to or whilst ballast water is in the tank.
If any part of the treatment or neutralization process is applied during the ballast water
discharge, then in-tank sampling is inappropriate.
For this vessel, sampling for compliance with the ballast water discharge standard is
provided through the following:
Location of Water/ Sediment Sampling Points

Sampling Point Frame Dist. From CL (m) Dist. From BL (m) Type Remarks
SP-1 #72-73 ~9.27m Port Side ~3.09m Engine Room
Sampling of ballast water is primarily a matter for the authorized authority, and there
is unlikely to be any need for crew members to take samples except at the express request, and
under the supervision, of the authorized authority. If sampling is performed in Ballast Water
tank using manhole, it is reminded that in any entry inside enclosed space, dedicated SMS
procedure is to be duly followed.
Exceptionally, ballast water management Officer can take a sample to ensure effective
ballast water exchange or compliance with local regulation but this has to be performed only
using sounding pipe.

7.4.1 General
The BWMS is fully automated, and all control can be executed by one operator at the HMI.
Note! if the BWMS has been completely shut down. (Black out or main breaker cut off) the BWMS has to be powered on again
for at least 30 minutes before any operation may be initiated.
Standard automatic operating modes for treatment are:

- Ballast
- De-Ballast
- Stripping
- CIP
- Water Filling
- Recirculation (power up and cool down)
- Fresh Water Flush
In addition, the system includes a manual mode: Manual.
Valves referred to in the following are to be considered BWMS integrated valves. (Please see specifics in P&ID). BWMS
pump referred to in the following are used for recirculation, backflush, and stripping operations. (optional)
Before starting any operation, ensure to prepare rest of the ship systems for ballasting. Example: Ensure to open the overboard
valve for the systems backflush line. There must be available power for the system. Confirm before starting.Set points and values
used in the automated modes can be found in section 6.7.
7.4.2 Start Ballast Operation (automatic mode)

1) Select Ballast in drop down operation mode menu.
2) Press the START button
 The UV-lamp controllers and recirculation mode are activated while the UV-lamps are powering up.
 A 120 sec. fixed delay between UV-lamp ‘green’ indications and to signal start of BW pump.
 When reaching a pre-set time or needed UVI set value, valves open, the ballast pump starts, and recirculation
mode is stopped.
 During the ballast operation, the differential pressure over the filter is measured and when the set point for the
maximum allowable differential pressure (BACKFLUSH SET POINT START is reached, the back flush valve
is opened, the filter backflush pump is started and the filter is cleaned by back flushing. When the lower set point
for the differential pressure is reached (BACKFLUSH SET POINT STOP, the back flush valves are closed, and
filter backflush pump stops. A time limit is also configured (minimum 10 minutes,maximum 60 minutes) to start
the back flush automatically even if the differential pressure is not high enough.
 During the ballast operation the system will adjust the outlet valve W1-RM2 to obtain NORMAL OUTLET
PRESSURE SET POINT. During filter backflushing the system will adjust the outlet valve W1-RM2 to obtain
FLUSHING OUTLET PRESSURE SET POINT. In case “TOO LONG FLUSHING TIME” is encountered, the
system will adjust the outlet valve W1-RM2 to obtain ERROR OUTLET PRESSURE SET POINT.
 During the ballast operation the flow through the system will be reduced according to the flow control curve if
the measured UV intensity is below the UV MAX set point. If the measured UV intensity is above the DIM
SETPOINT, , the UV lamps will be dimmed.

BUREAU VERITAS
BALLAST WATER
7.5 Abort operation and system by-pass procedures
7.5.1 Abort operation procedure automatic initiated by the BWMS

The CompactClean BWMS will detect any situation which requires the system to stop and automatically do so.
These situations could be high temperature, - pressure or lamp failure which will raise alarms and stop the
system. Any disconnected or malfunctioning sensor(s) will also activate alarms and shutdown the BWMS.
 The BWMS will close valves and switch to recirculation mode.
 After closing of valves, the UV lamp controllers will shut down. This is to prevent untreated water
leaving the system.
7.5.2 Abort operation procedure initiated by operator

1) Press and hold the “Abort” icon down on the HMI for 3 Seconds.
 Immediate start of shutting down all functions at the same time. UV lamp controllers will
therefore shut down before closing of valves and creating a contamination risk, thus only for
emergency.
Note! – At any stop, the BWMS will require the lamps to cool down, and the system will not allow user to restart before 5
min. cooldown period has passed.
7.5.3 System by-pass procedure

For safety reasons it is a requirement that the BWMS can be by-passed in a case of emergency. The CompactClean system
includes an entrance valve as well as a discharge valve for the actual treatment system. Further, the system requires a by-pass pipe
starting before the inlet valve and ending behind the outlet valve. The by-pass pipe must have the same diameter and material as
the full flow pipe. The by-pass valve must never be part of the BWMS. The type of valve recommended is a gate valve with
manual overwrite. The CompactClean system monitors and records the state of by-pass valve sensor. Data log includes recordings
whether the valve is open or closed during the operation of the system.
If the by-pass valve is open, and a bypass is detected, the BMWS will not be able to start. In case the by-pass valve is engaged, the
CompactClean inlet and outlet valve will immediately close, and the system will log a by-pass event.
Bypass valves and functions are not controlled by the BMWS in any way. The controls and function must not depend onthe wiring
or setup of the BWMS. Below are suggested ways to operate the by-pass valves:
1) Open the BWMS bypass valve using the ship system / control board outside the BWMS control.
2) Open the BWMS bypass valve manually.
7.6 Requirements to achieve treatment objectives.

1) Always use clean ballast water tanks, that have not been used for untreated water.
2) Do not start a ballast operation by taking water with a massive sediment concentration, caused by propelleractivity
from a vessel nearby.
3) Never ignore alarms occurring during operation.
4) Use CIP cleaning function after each ballast operation; preventing scaling to build up outside the quartz tubes.
5) Keep the BWMS clean and maintain according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
6) Always use original spare parts for repair and maintenance.
7) If the system has not been used for 5 days or more. Perform CIP procedure before starting a ballast or de-ballast operation.

1) UV-I sensor to be inspected and adjusted as described in sec. 8.1.
2) All other monitoring devices are either self-calibrating or calibrated from the factory and no further calibration or zeroing
is needed at installation.
7.10 Personnel requirements for the BWMS

The operator of the BWMS must have received training in the usage of the system and the controls by either a DESMI
service engineer or by qualified shipping company personnel. It is OWNER's responsibility that SHIP crew and other
relevant personnel is trained for BWMS operations.
The general requirements for ensuring that crew can use the control system is:
- Technical English language
- Full color vision
- General technical knowledge.
The systems internal operations are automated and does not require additional crew onboard the vessel. DESMI Ocean
Guard offers training and supportive tools for crew training. Example. CBT (Computer based training) and classroom
training upon request.

This survey shall verify that the Ballast Water Management plan required by
regulation B-1 and any associated structure, equipment, systems, fitting,
arrangements and material or processes comply fully with the applicable
requirements of this Convention.
.3 An intermediate survey within three months before or after the second

Anniversary date or within three months before or after the third Anniversary date
of the Certificate, which shall take the place of one of the annual surveys specified
in paragraph 1.4. The intermediate surveys shall ensure that the equipment,
associated systems and processes for Ballast Water Management fully comply
with the applicable requirements of this Annex and are in good working order.
Such intermediate surveys shall be endorsed on the Certificate issued under
regulation E-2 or E-3.

for which the ship is intended. Such annual surveys shall be endorsed on the
Certificate issued under regulation E-2 or E-3.
.5 An additional survey either general or partial, according to the circumstances,

shall be made after a change, replacement, or significant repair of the structure,
equipment, systems, fittings, arrangements and material necessary to achieve full
compliance with this Convention. The survey shall be such as to ensure that any
such change, replacement, or significant repair has been effectively made, so that
the ship complies with the requirements of this Convention. Such surveys shall be
endorsed on the Certificate issued under regulation E-2 or E-3.
2 The Administration shall establish appropriate measures for ships that are not subject to
the provisions of paragraph 1 in order to ensure that the applicable provisions of this Convention
are complied with.
3 Surveys of ships for the purpose of enforcement of the provisions of this Convention shall
be carried out by officers of the Administration. The Administration may, however, entrust the
surveys either to surveyors nominated for the purpose or to organizations recognized by it.
4 An Administration nominating surveyors or recognizing organizations to conduct

surveys, as described in paragraph 3 shall, as a minimum, empower such nominated surveyors or
recognized organizations2 to:
.1 require a ship that they survey to comply with the provisions of this Convention;
and

required under regulation E-2 or E-3 or is such that the ship is not fit to proceed to sea without
presenting a threat of harm to the environment, human health, property or resources such
surveyor or organization shall immediately ensure that corrective action is taken to bring the ship
into compliance. A surveyor or organization shall be notified immediately, and it shall ensure
that the Certificate is not issued or is withdrawn as appropriate. If the ship is in the port of
another Party, the appropriate authorities of the port State shall be notified immediately. When
an officer of the Administration, a nominated surveyor, or a recognized organization has notified
the appropriate authorities of the port State, the Government of the port State concerned shall
give such officer, surveyor or organization any necessary assistance to carry out their obligations
under this regulation, including any action described in Article 9.

10 After any survey of the ship under paragraph 1 has been completed, no change shall be
made in the structure, any equipment, fittings, arrangements or material associated with the
Ballast Water Management plan required by regulation B-1 and covered by the survey without
the sanction of the Administration, except the direct replacement of such equipment or fittings.
Regulation E-2 Issuance or Endorsement of a Certificate
1 The Administration shall ensure that a ship to which regulation E-1 applies is issued a
Certificate after successful completion of a survey conducted in accordance with regulation E-1.
A Certificate issued under the authority of a Party shall be accepted by the other Parties and
regarded for all purposes covered by this Convention as having the same validity as a Certificate
issued by them.
2 Certificates shall be issued or endorsed either by the Administration or by any person or

organization duly authorized by it. In every case, the Administration assumes full responsibility
for the Certificate.

.1 Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 1, when the renewal survey is

completed within three months before the expiry date of the existing Certificate,
the new Certificate shall be valid from the date of completion of the renewal
survey to a date not exceeding five years from the date of expiry of the existing
Certificate.
.2 When the renewal survey is completed after the expiry date of the existing
Certificate, the new Certificate shall be valid from the date of completion of the
renewal survey to a date not exceeding five years from the date of expiry of the
existing Certificate.
.3 When the renewal survey is completed more than three months before the expiry
date of the existing Certificate, the new Certificate shall be valid from the date of

the renewal survey is completed, the new Certificate shall be valid to a date not exceeding five
years from the date of expiry of the existing Certificate before the extension was granted.
6 A Certificate issued to a ship engaged on short voyages which has not been extended
under the foregoing provisions of this regulation may be extended by the Administration for a
period of grace of up to one month from the date of expiry stated on it. When the renewal survey
is completed, the new Certificate shall be valid to a date not exceeding five years from the date of
expiry of the existing Certificate before the extension was granted.
7 In special circumstances, as determined by the Administration, a new Certificate need not

be dated from the date of expiry of the existing Certificate as required by paragraph 2.2, 5 or 6 of
this regulation. In these special circumstances, the new Certificate shall be valid to a date not
exceeding five years from the date of completion of the renewal survey.
8 If an annual survey is completed before the period specified in regulation E-1, then:
.1 the Anniversary date shown on the Certificate shall be amended by endorsement

to a date which shall not be more than three months later than the date on which
the survey was completed;
.2 the subsequent annual or intermediate survey required by regulation E-1 shall be

completed at the intervals prescribed by that regulation using the new Anniversary
date;
.3 the expiry date may remain unchanged provided one or more annual surveys, as
appropriate, are carried out so that the maximum intervals between the surveys
prescribed by regulation E-1 are not exceeded.
9 A Certificate issued under regulation E-2 or E-3 shall cease to be valid in any of the
following cases:
.1 if the structure, equipment, systems, fittings, arrangements and material necessary

to comply fully with this Convention is changed, replaced or significantly repaired
and the Certificate is not endorsed in accordance with this Annex;
.2 upon transfer of the ship to the flag of another State. A new Certificate shall only
be issued when the Party issuing the new Certificate is fully satisfied that the ship
is in compliance with the requirements of regulation E-1. In the case of a transfer
between Parties, if requested within three months after the transfer has taken
place, the Party whose flag the ship was formerly entitled to fly shall, as soon as
possible, transmit to the Administration copies of the Certificates carried by the
ship before the transfer and, if available, copies of the relevant survey reports;
.3 if the relevant surveys are not completed within the periods specified under
regulation E-1.1; or
.4 if the Certificate is not endorsed in accordance with regulation E-1.1.
