Urgent need to improve testing protocols for Ballast Water Treatment Systems

[2018-02-22] In a recent article published in The Maritime Executive, experts express a great deal of concern about the actual capacity to process certification tests for ballast water treatment systems and whether the testing protocols are as effective as they should be. The article argues that the lack of consistent and effective protocols may lead to confused and frustrated buyers and operators of ballast water treatment systems, and that the testing consultants (such as Seanalytics) should become more involved in consolidating testing processes and protocols.
