This publication provides practical information to Governments, particularly those of developing countries, Administrations, ship owners, port State control authorities, environmental agencies and other stakeholders on the implications of ratifying and enforcing the Ballast Water Management Convention.
This publication includes extensive guidance on implementing each regulation of the Ballast Water Management Convention, from general applicability to exceptions and exemptions. Consideration is also given to crew training and personnel administration. It should be noted that this is a reference document and, for legal purposes, the authentic text of the Convention should always be consulted.
A??s
a
specialized
agency
of
the
United
Nations,
IMO
is
the
global
standard
setting
authority
for
the
safety,
security
and
environmental
performance
of
international
shipping.
Its
main
role
is
to
create
a
regulatory
framework
for
the
shipping
industry
that
is
fair
and
effective,
universally
adopted
and
universally
implemented.
In
other
words,
its
role
is
to
create
a
level
playing
field
so
that
ship
operators
cannot
address
their
financial
issues
by
simply
cutting
corners
and
compromising
on
safety,
security
and
environmental
performance.
This
approach
also
encourages
innovation
and
efficiency.
Shipping is a truly international industry, and it can only operate effectively if the regulations and standards are themselves agreed, adopted and implemented on an international basis. And IMO is the forum at which this process takes place.
