Ballast Water Management Plan/План управления балластными водами

Издание на английском языке
The book is a guide to the management of ballast water and sediments on ships in accordance with the requirements of the International Convention on the Control and Management of Ballast Water and Sediments. It describes the objectives and procedures necessary to comply with international standards, including IMO recommendations. The focus is on standard operating practices that help ship owners and captains effectively monitor and manage ballast water, ensuring safety and environmental protection. The book also highlights the importance of regularly updating information and the need for a translation into the crew's working language if the text is not written in English, French or Spanish.
