    Ships take on ballast water to maintain stability and safe operations at sea. Proper ballasting requires consideration of stresses on tanks and compatibility with cargo residues. International regulations restrict ballast water use to prevent spread of invasive species between ports. The Ballast Water Convention aims to set treatment standards that fully clean ballast water before discharge, and some countries already implement ballast water exchange programs in certain hydrologic areas. The Ginga Ocelot will be the first ship equipped with ballast water treatment units to sterilize ballast water when it launches in May 2013.

    For example Stress, Heated cargoes, Sulphuric Acid, MDI.

    Are there any restrictions on the use of ballast water?


    Ballast water convention – ratification level…...
    Ballast water exchange programs. Not international yet-
    Ex. Brazil hydrologic areas…..
    Ballast Water Treatment will bring full cleaning/sterilisation of the ballast water
