The
Ballast Water Management Plan Problem
IMO Resolution A.868(20) is a reality and it's beginning
to get a lot of attention from many nations throughout the world. As you are
aware several nations now require some form of ballast water management to
take place onboard vessels calling their ports.
This management can include: at sea ballast exchange,
reporting forms, ballast management logs, training and the designation
of a ballast water management officer.
The Hudson Marine Management Services (HMMS),
Ballast Water Management Plan Solution
HMMS (Oslo, Norway) has created a ballast water management
plan that is built on IMO Resolution A.868(20) - Guidelines for the control
and management of ships' ballast water to minimize the transfer of harmful
aquatic organisms and pathogens.
The HMMS ballast water management plan is designed
to give the vessel master and ballast water management officer maximum
flexibility in performing ballast water management procedures while
not locking them into one method of ballast water management.
The HMMS ballast water management plan includes:
Ballast water arrangements, Safety considerations, Management procedures,
Training, National and Local requirements as well as a place to
maintain ballast records in the plan.
The HMMS ballast water management plan can be purchased
as a template, which you complete, or as a completed plan. If you
choose the completed plan option, HMMS will send a questionnaire
to you. Once the completed questionnaire is received, HMMS will
prepare 3 copies of the vessel specific plan. One copy of the ballast
water management plan will be for the vessel. One copy of the plan
will be for the company office. One copy of the plan to be maintained
by HMMS, for updating purposes.
