One man’s curse is another man’s blessingOn 8 September 2017 the Ballast Water Management Convention (BWMC) entered into force. But shipowners successfully obtained a delay for existing vessels and thus have more time to install treatment systems on board. By Thomas Wägener

On the one hand, the decision by the International Maritime Organiza-

tion (IMO) to grant vessels built prior to 8 September 2017 two more years before they require a BWTS on board has led to relief among shipping companies. On the other hand, suppliers are upset because they were hoping for an advance, led by complex technology. According to the original plans, the ballast water agree-ment was to enter into force earlier. This would have resulted in many ships to pro-vide such a technology on board as soon as last year. At the latest, all ships would have had a BWTS installed on board by September 2022. Now operators/owners have to implement the facilities until the final deadline in September 2024 (see also HANSA 8/2017, p. 54).

However, the shipping companies have successfully rebelled against the original plans – and prevailed, because they were able to push a delay. The rationale pre-sented was that available facilities were not ready for the market, yet. Further-more, the costs would be to high for many of the shipowners, and in addition, the shipping companies referred to the prob-lem of not clearly defined regulations. A competing legal framework in different areas of the world would rather compli-cate the situation, given the U.S. specifi-cations for example, they said.

The new BWMC has a massive im-pact on the shipping sector worldwide.The investment for one BWTS could to-tal 2 mill. €. Esben Poulsson, Chairman of the International Chamber of Shipping

(ICS) thus estimated some 100 bn. € over-all costs for the whole maritime industry. Poulsson urges shipowners, ballast-water system manufacturers and governments to cooperate for the success of the conven-tion, and to increase the potential for en-vironmental protection. Owners should now use the time to invest in better tech-nology, says Poulsson. Andrew Marshall, Coldharbour Marine CEO, also urges for making good use of the additional time: »Many ship operators require a far better understanding of ballast water treatment technologies and their shortcomings in re-al-life applications.«

Desmi improves test bedOne of the companies that worked on their BWTS recently is the Danish man-ufacturer Desmi. Its latest test bed, com-pleted at the end of 2017, works with a wider scope of testing scenarios, and it enables customers to gain access to a new, expanded set of testing certification ser-vices. »We’ve made a considerable in-vestment to upgrade our existing test bed with complete, state-of-the-art tech-nology,« said André Jelstrup, Production Manager at Desmi. »With eight differ-ent test bases, each equipped to handle pumps of varying sizes and types, we’ve now got far greater flexibility.«

The new test bed can be both upgrad-ed and expanded down the line which is equally relevant, Desmi stated. The com-pany sees a vast improvement in upgrad-ing their test bed technology. Once a

pump is secured on its skid, an auto-cycle fills the pump cylinder with liquid, pushes the air out and automatically tests various points on a pre-determined pump curve. All the while, two viewing monitors pro-vide a continuous and complete readout of the test results. Tolerances can also be ac-curately measured providing a significant-ly larger data set than the previous system, Desmi emphasises. This latter feature can be used to refine designs or catch problems at a much earlier point during testing.

Wärtsilä has improved its BWTS as well. According to the company, both Aquari-us technologies are IMO approved, USCG Alternate Management System (AMS) ac-cepted, and both are currently undergo-ing full USCG and ballast discharge reg-ulation (Revised G8) testing. Wärtsilä expects the EC USCG type approval dur-ing the second half and the UV type ap-proval for the last quarter of this year.

New order for OptimarinRecently, Optimarin announced another order from Ahrenkiel Steamship for its Optimarin BWTS, also known as OBS. The OBS 334-370 BK has a capacity of 334 m3/h and will be installed on »AS La-guna«. According to Optimarin it takes four to eight days to install a BWTS on board with a capacity of 500 m3/h.

Due to the fact that about 40,000 ves-sels worldwide need to be fitted with bal-last water treatment systems in the com-ing years, the installation time could be one of the decisive factors. M
