SHIPMASTER’S BALLAST WATER MANAGEMENT V2.0

This essential guide covers all aspects of ballast water management, including the development of familiarisation and operational plans.

This manual links to the already established Safety Management System (SMS) covering the company and the ship, which includes proper plans for shipboard operations. The SMS requires crew and officers to be familiar with applicable onboard instructions and procedures, including ballast water management.

An updated version of the manual will be issued regularly in accordance with IMO revisions.
