Overview

M/V ELECTRA, Bulk Carrier

Ballast  water  is  essential  to  control  trim,  list,  draught,  stability,  or  stresses  of  the  ship.  However, ballast  water  may  contain  aquatic  organisms  or  pathogens  which,  if  introduced into  the  sea (including  estuaries)  or  into  fresh  water  courses,  may  create  hazards  to  the  environment,  human  health,  property  or  resources,  impair  biological  diversity  or  interfere  with  other  legitimate  uses  of  such areas.

As a result, the IMO has developed certain guidelines for the development and implementation of a Ballast   Water   Management   Plan on   board   ships   aiming   to   assist   Governments,  pertinent   Authorities,  ship masters,  operators,  owners  and  Port Authorities.
