4、ogens in the ballast water of ships has been determined to have caused a significant adverse impact to many of the worlds coastal regions. The international maritime community, under the auspices of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed several documents, including the “Interna

5、tional Conventions for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004”, (Ballast Water Management Convention), which are aimed at preventing the introduction of unwanted aquatic organisms and pathogens through the discharge of ballast water and sediments. Upon entry into force

6、, the Ballast Water Management Convention will apply to vessels registered in a country which is party to the Convention and to those vessels registered in other countries when operating in the waters of a country which is party to the Convention. As a means to prevent, minimize and ultimately elimi

7、nate the risk to the environment, human health, property and resources arising from the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens through the control and management of vessels ballast water and sediment, as well as to avoid unwanted side-effects from that control, the Convention requires v

8、essels to conduct a ballast water exchange or be fitted with an approved ballast water management system. It is noted that several studies have shown that the effectiveness of ballast water exchange varies and is dependent on the vessel type (design), exchange method (sequential, flow-through and di

9、lution methods), ballasting system configuration, exchange location, weather conditions and vessels trading pattern. For these reasons (and others), it has been determined that ballast water exchange does not provide adequate protective measures to prevent damage from organisms and pathogens carried

10、 in a vessels ballast, even though exchange was considered to be acceptable as an interim solution. The installation of ballast water management systems (or ballast water treatment systems), designed, reviewed, approved, installed and operated to satisfy an agreed-upon ballast water discharge perfor

11、mance standard has been determined by the international marine industry to provide a more effective means to prevent, minimize and ultimately eliminate the transfer of organisms and pathogens via vessel ballast discharge, when compared to ballast water exchange. This Guide for Ballast Water Treatmen

12、t is provided for the use of designers, builders, owners and operators of vessels classed with ABS and specifies the requirement for obtaining the optional classification notations Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) and Ballast Water Treatment Plus (BWT+) for vessels equipped with an IMO Member State Typ

13、e Approved ballast water management system. The BWT notation identifies that the IMO Member State Type Approved ballast water management system has been reviewed and installed in compliance with this Guide and serves to identify a level of compliance with the applicable regulations contained in the

14、IMO “International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004”, as well as those supporting IMO guidelines referenced in the Convention addressing the ballast water management systems. The BWT+ notation is available for those vessels which are equipped with

15、a ballast water management system that, in addition to being type approved by an IMO Member State and evaluated for compliance with the requirements in this Guide, has been fabricated under survey at the manufacturing facility by an ABS Surveyor. This Guide for Ballast Water Treatment (August 2016),

16、 has been revised to include in a new Section 1, Annex 1, the aspects of a BWMS that obtains a United States Coast Guard Type Approval. Section 4 has been revised to include among other miscellaneous requirements, the detailed requirements that ABS classed vessels would have to comply with for BWMS

17、installed in dedicated hazardous compartments on the deck of tankers or tank barges. See 4/3.4.2. Furthermore, when ABS permits the installation of specific types of BWMS in the steering gear compartment of a vessel, the criteria and requirements that are to be complied with have been detailed in a

18、new 4/3.5. A new Appendix 3, details requirements for specific types of BWMS dosing systems, housed in non-hazardous compartments on the deck of tankers, used for treatment of the vessels aft peak ballast tank and also intended to be used for the treatment of the ballast tanks in the hazardous cargo

19、 block area. Another new Appendix 5, details requirements for BWMS installations on dedicated tug/barge combinations (ATB), wherein the BWMS may be located on either the tug or the barge, servicing both units. ABSGUIDE FOR BALLAST WATER TREATMENT .2016 iii The existing Appendices 3, 4 and 5 have bee

20、n re-designated as Appendices 4, 6 and 7, respectively. This revision of the Guide has also included IACS UR M74 (Rev. 1 May 2016) “Installation of Ballast Water Management Systems”, as and where applicable. This Guide is to be used in conjunction with other Rules published by ABS and the guidelines

21、 published by the IMO. Users of this Guide acknowledge and agree that ABS is not responsible for a vessels operation pertaining to the ballast water management system(s) and shall bear no liability for such operations and guidelines that are considered to be applicable. While it is the intent of the

22、 Guide to be consistent with these relevant regulations and guidelines, it is the ultimate responsibility of the users of the Guide to refer to the most recent texts of those regulations and guidelines. This Guide becomes effective on the first day of the month of publication. Users are advised to c

41、with Regulation B-3 of the “International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004” (Convention), the associated IMO guidelines and national regulations, addressing the use of a ballast water management system. At the request of the owner, a vessel having

42、a ballast water management system (BWMS) installed for conducting ballast water management which complies fully with the requirements of this Guide and the applicable Rules and has been installed under survey by ABS Surveyors may be assigned the Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) or the Ballast Water Tre

43、atment Plus (BWT+) classification notation as specified in Subsection 1/7 of this Guide. Where a vessel is fitted with a BWMS and the BWT or BWT+ notation is not being pursued, the installed BWMS is to comply with the requirements in Sections 4 and 5 of the Guide and be verified by an ABS Surveyor d

44、uring installation. This Guide refers to relevant international regulations and guidelines that are considered to be applicable. While it is the intent of this Guide to be consistent with the regulations and guidelines, it is recommended that the users of this Guide refer to the most recent text of

45、those regulations and guidelines. 3 Objective/Scope In accordance with the Convention, a BWMS installed on board a vessel is to be an IMO Member State type-approved and certified system and the installation of this system must have the prior approval/acceptance of the vessels flag Administration. It

46、 is recognized that each BWMS is tested, approved and certified in its standard product configuration. However there are design and engineering issues, as well as special considerations relating to the class requirements that will need to be addressed, as every ship is unique due to its design and o

47、perational profile. The objective of this Guide is to provide supplementary requirements regarding BWMS that generally are not addressed by other ABS Rules or Guides. The requirements of this Guide may be applied to new or existing vessels. It is recognized that the technology associated with BWMS r

48、emains under development. Accordingly, ABS is prepared to consider alternative arrangements to the requirements contained in the Guide, provided that substantiating information and/or a risk analysis is submitted for review. As indicated in Section 1, Figure 1, ballast water treatment is one of the

49、accepted ballast water management methodologies provided for within the Convention that is available for selection by the Owner. ABSGUIDE FOR BALLAST WATER TREATMENT .2016 1 Section 1 General 5 Basis of Notation (1 August 2016) This Guide contains the provisions for BWMS and the optional classification notation BWT or BWT+ for vessels classed with ABS. This Guide is intended for use in conjunction with the appropriate ABS Rules. BWMS designed and installed in accordance with this Guide will also comply, as applicable, with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) re
