11. BALLAST WATER MANAGEMENT CONVENTION Section D – Standards for ballast water management Reg. D-1: Ballast water exchange standard 95 % volymetric exchange; or 3 times pumping through the volume of each tank Section B – Management and control requirements for ships Reg. B-4: Ballast water exchange -200 nm and 200 m depth, or if not possible - 50 nm and 200 m depth, or if not possible - in areas designated by the Port State Ballast Water Exchange shall only be undertaken when safety of the ship is guaranteed

16. BALLAST WATER TREATMENT Section D – Standards for ballast water management Reg. D-2: Ballast water performance standard  less than 10 viable organisms / tonne ≥ 50 μm; and  less than 10 viable organisms / ml ≤ 50 μm and ≥ 10 μm; and  indicator microbes ≤ following concentrations: - Vibrio cholera< 1 cfu /100 ml -Escherichia coli< 250 cfu /100 ml- Intestinal Enterococci< 100 cfu /100 ml

17. Section B – Management and control requirements for ships Reg. B-3: Ballast water management requirements

18. Barge based supply / reception facilities

19. Not only the water – also the sediment in the tanks !

20. I’m sure we just discharged that crocodile OK. that definitely meansTHE END
