With the IMO Ballast Water Convention close to the critical 35%

of world tonnage, it is largely expected that the convention will

be triggered and enter into force in 2016. Once enforced, ship

owners will be required to implement BWT Systems on vessels.

It is estimated that over $45 billion will be spent in the 5 years

following enforcement. The cost, installation and operation of

BWT Systems is of serious concern to the industry.

ACI’s 15th Ballast Water Management Summit will provide

essential, expert guidance to shipowner/operators on how to

prepare for and manage the BWT Systems in terms of selection,

installation and technical operations, as well as advice on com-

pliance, PSC and regulation once the convention is in place. The

conference will also address Type Approval and system excel-

lences for the BWT System Manufacturers.

DHI Ballast Water Centre - Singapore
