Ballast Water Management System Ballast Water Management Convention The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ compliance and ready Ballast Water and Sediments will come into force September 2017 - Will your vessel be in compliance? Ballast water is used to maintain the vessel stability and to ensure vessel structural integrity. As ships unload their cargo, ballast water is typically pumped in. The water is then transported to other geographic areas. Subsequent discharge of ballast water in other ecological zones may result in the establishment of harmful aquatic organisms creating a detriment to the marine environment. This is recognized as a serious threat to global biological diversity and human health. More than 50,000 vessels will need to comply with international ballast water treatment legislation in the near future; together with the internationally recognized equipment vendor Alfa Laval, Semco Maritime provide complete project solutions for Water Ballast Management Systems in compliance with the Convention.
