The USCG published MSIB 14-20 “COVID-19: Ballast Water Management (BWM) Extensions” due to disruptions in the supply chain and workforce due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The USCG has developed guidance based on the length of time needed for the extensions. Albion Marine Solutions team is ready to prepare your application for extension. Applications will need to be submitted identifying the ship plus supporting documentation:
- Proof of purchase
- Third-party documentation from a shipyard or BWMS manufacturer that a delay due to COVID-19 issues occurred.
- Plan for installing the BWMS, including previously completed items and schedule for completion of the BWMS installation project.
Albion Marine Solutions has extensive experience with USCG extension applications. Please contact our general office (
