Ballast water research series: Report no. 13
The IMSP has already produced a number of publications as part of a Ballast Water Research Series which present research and technical investigations on ballast water management, such as exchange and treatments. This research provides the IMSP with a scientific basis for policy decisions and supports implemented management initiatives. The series was initially focused on ballast water research but was later extended to include bio-fouling of ships as this has been recognised as an important vector of marine pests and an area lacking in technical knowledge.
