Ballast Water Management | Divicon Techbio Labs

At Divicon Techbio Labs, we offer comprehensive ballast water monitoring services to help protect marine ecosystems and comply with international regulations. Our specialized services ensure that your vessels meet the highest standards of ballast water management, mitigating the risk of invasive species transfer and promoting environmental sustainability.

Why Ballast Water Management Matters?

Ballast water is essential for maintaining the stability and safety of vessels during cargo loading and unloading. However, it can unintentionally transport harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens from one ecosystem to another. This has led to the spread of invasive species, threatening the biodiversity and ecological balance of marine environments.

International regulations, such as the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention), require vessels to implement effective ballast water management systems. Compliance with these regulations is a crucial step towards safeguarding marine ecosystems.
