The 2004 Ballast Water Convention is close to ratification but certain obstacles are delaying it. Even though biological invasions continue to occur -many key flag states- are unable to ratify due to the uncertainties in shipping communities.
Being the key global ballast water event for the last decade, it is the aim of ICBWM2012 to bring more clarity into the practical implementation of the convention at all levels from the IMO, to administration and in the end to every ship owner and operator who will need to install ballast water treatment systems onboard of every single ship in their fleet.
The Venue

The ICBWM2012 will be held at the 3rd floor, in Helicornia room.
