BWM convention

- The BWM Convention will enter into force on 8 September 2017

- The convention stipulates two standards for discharged ballast water: The D-1 standard covers ballast water exchangeThe D-2 standard covers ballast water treatment.

- The convention requires either D-1 or D-2 standard after entry into force.

BWM convention

- There will be a transitional period from the entry into force to the IOPP renewal survey in which ballast water exchange (reg. D-1) can be employed.

- At the first IOPP renewal survey after 8 September 2017, vessels will be required to meet the discharge standard D-2. The latter is most commonly met by installing an approved Ballast Water Management System (BWMS).

- Ships constructed after entry into force will be required to have a treatment system installed at delivery.
