Yacht Sector Concerned About Ballast Water Rules

Super yacht crew platform

France-based water treatment specialist BIO-UV Group is advising yacht owners and crews to ensure their vessels are compliant with the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention and USCG regulation.

Yachts less than 50m in length are often considered recreational craft and exempt from the regulations. However, despite their size, some smaller vessels are over 400gt and have a ballast water capacity greater than 8m3. This means they must comply with the requirements set out in the BWM Convention.

BIO-SEA Technology Optimises For Reduced Holding Time In All Waters

BIO_SEA

BIO-UV Group has completed successfully the testing of an enhanced BIO-SEA ballast water treatment system designed to reduce further the time in which treated water has to be held onboard prior to discharge overboard.

Holding time is the minimum period between the uptake and discharge of ballast water to ensure it has been properly treated.

The technical advancement BIO-UV Group has made in UV-C technology, however, has shown that holding time can be reduced also in brackish water open seas.
