BWM.2/Circ.23

International convention for the control and management of ships’ ballast water and sediments, 2004

List of ballast water management systems that make use of Active Substances which received Basic and Final Approvals

 

  1. The Ballast Water Management Convention (BWM Convention) provides in its regulation D-3.2 that ballast water management systems which make use of Active Substances, to comply with the Convention, shall be approved by IMO based on a procedure developed by the Organization. According to regulation A-1.7 of the same Convention, an Active Substance is a substance or organism, including a virus or a fungus, that has a general or specific action on or against harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens.

  2. The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), at its fifty-third session (18 to 22 July 2005), adopted the “Procedure for approval of ballast water management systems that make use of Active Substances (G9)” by resolution MEPC.126(53). At the same session, MEPC established a Technical Group (GESAMP-Ballast Water Working Group) under the auspices of GESAMP*, to evaluate Active Substances and the relevant systems and advise the MEPC accordingly.

  3. MEPC 57 (31 March to 4 April 2008) adopted resolution MEPC.169(57), which revokes resolution MEPC.126(53) and contains the revised “Procedure for approval of ballast water management systems that make use of Active Substances (G9)”.

  4. Section 8 of Procedure (G9) sets out the methodology to be followed for the two-tier approval of ballast water management systems that make use of Active Substances and requests IMO to record the Basic and Final Approvals and to circulate the list once a year.

  5. Following the consideration of the relevant reports of the GESAMP-BWWG, the MEPC, at its fifty-ninth session (13 to 17 July 2009), granted three Basic Approvals and four Final Approvals to the ballast water management systems that make use of Active Substances. The annexes to this circular contain relevant information on the ballast water management systems that received Basic and Final Approvals from March 2006 until December 2009.

  6. This circular supersedes Circular BWM.2/Circ.16.

  7. Information regarding the systems that received Type Approval Certification can be found in the IMO website at http://www.imo.org/home.html.

  8. Member Governments are invited to bring this circular to the attention of all the parties concerned.

* GESAMP stands for IMO/FAO/UNESCO-IOC/WMO/IAEA/UN/UNEP/UNIDO Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection.
