Dr Brian Phillips Talks to Passenger Ship Magazine About the "BWMS Manufacturers Battle Challenges"

CTG's Managing Director, Dr Brian Phillips outlined that sovereign states and their port authorities are taking clear steps towards ensuring compliance with International Maritime Organization regulations for ballast water.

Although IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee decided last July to delay installation dates for ballast water management systems by another two years, compliance with the convention’s D-1 standard – achieved by carrying out ballast water exchange – was not affected.

Because of this Brian warned “The floodgates are opening. Regardless of IMO’s delay, concerned parties, including port authorities, around the world are stating that it is a good thing to get on and test ballast water for compliance.”
