All new ships for UK waters ordered from 2025 should be designed with zero-emission capable technologies, in ambitious plans set out by Maritime Minister Nusrat Ghani to cut pollution from the country’s maritime sector.

A very interesting interview was given to nafsgreen.gr by Gregory Papadakis, Managing Director, PSB& CO. SA regarding the implementation of BWM Convention.

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (Ballast Water Management Convention or BWM Convention) is an international maritime treaty established in 2004.

A very interesting interview was given to nafsgreen.gr by Dimitris Poulos, Regional Manager, Service and Equipment Marine and Diesel Power, Alfa Laval regarding the implementation of BWM Convention.

If global trade is the engine of economic growth, shipping is the cylinder oil that keeps the engine running.

The most significant BWM Convention issue that shipowners and operators are facing is the need, for ballast water treatment systems that have been type approved, to enable vessels equipped with such technologies to meet the D-2 treatment standard wherever the vessel calls.
