Description 2007-2012
The
existing guideline G8 of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is a
generic document that has been compiled based on expert knowledge. Since its
first release in 2005, and the revision in 2008, it has proved to be a workable
document. However, practical experience gained from certification testing has
shown a number of short-comings. Some of these have been addressed and amended
in later regulations while other issues are still unresolved. In this paper the
topic is addressed from the point of view of a test facility. Common challenges
faced by test facilities and possible solutions thereof are presented in the
context of practical application of ballast water management systems on board
of ships. The relevance and meaning of taxonomy, organism numbers, temperature,
salinity and sediment load, are discussed. Lessons learned from the past 7
years of land-based testing and their relevance for future shipboard operation
and compliance control are evaluated.
