Ballast water research series: Report no. 12
The IMSP has produced a number of publications as part of a Ballast Water Research Series. The publications present research and technical investigation findings on ballast water management, such as water exchange and treatment. This research provides the IMSP with a scientific basis for policy decisions and supports implemented management initiatives. The series was initially focused on ballast water research but was later extended to include bio-fouling of ships. Bio-fouling has been recognised as an important carrier of marine pests and an area lacking in technical knowledge.
