The industry is left with fewer options for BWMS testing – Maritime Environmental Resource Center will no longer conduct Type Approval Certification testing of ballast water management systems.

MERC has served as an independent, third-party test facility for evaluating the performance of ballast water management systems (BWMSs), which have been certified by several countries around the world.

Due to flaws in regulations designed to minimize the risk of ballast water introductions of invasive species, MERC will no longer provide BWMS certification testing services. After several years of MERC efforts to ensure scientifically-sound, predictive, consistent, and transparent BWMS certification testing, it has become clear that the lack of an appropriate standardized approach and  sufficient oversight in the implementation of ballast water regulations is undermining the fundamental goal of national and international policies to prevent  the introduction of environmentally and economically destructive invasive  species.

Albion Marine Solutions pleased to participate and exhibit at Asian Emissions Conference.

Albion Marine Solutions is Associate Member of Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems Association.

Given the apparently very light touch preparations for “2020” it might be assumed that plans are in place throughout the merchant shipping to commence compliance around June 2019 – only 19 months away from the start of this Asian Emissions Technology conference. The reality is confusion over the implications, cost, longevity and legal compliance effectiveness of the choices available.

This conference will inform delegates on the real story rather than the politics and marketing spin. Attendees will depart the conference with a full picture of the future shape of marine emissions controls, how bunkers suppliers will really respond to the 0.50%S demand and the consequences of current and future technology solutions..
