Q.I am aware that BWM is an independent convention and ships need to have a BWM Plan on board as per this convention. Is there anywhere written in MARPOL for the requirement of BWMP?

Answer 1 Answers

As you rightly said, BWM is an independent convention and there is no relation of any annex of the Marpol with the ballast water management, I do not think MARPOL will have any mention of the requirement of ballast water management plan.

Correct me if you find any information otherwise.
