Germanischer Lloyd AG Brooktorkai 18 20457 Hamburg Germany Phone: +49 40 36149-0 Fax: +49 40 36149-200
Background of the Convention
1992 Earth Summit - Rio Declaration on Environment and Development
Principle 15 of 1995 Rio Declaration on

Environment and Development. Principle 15 states that In order to protect the environment, the precautionary approach shall be widely applied by States according to their capabilities. Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation.
No. 4
Precautionary Principle When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically."
No. 5
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) - adopted in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992
since 1970 worldwide an extinction of 30% of species

took place
70 % thereof aquatic organisms Ballast water has been identified as a major threat
No. 6
2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development
2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development,

paragraph 34(b) of its Plan of Implementation states that, Accelerate the development of measures to address invasive alien species in ballast water. Urge the IMO to finalize its draft International Convention on the Control and management of Ships, Ballast Water and Sediments.
No. 7
Sustainability
In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development developed a definition of sustainability that was included in its findings, which became known as the Brundtland Report. It stated that:
Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
No. 8
Ballast Water Management Part 2 Transportation of Invasive Species

Our Business Segments GL Group consists of three major business fields: ship classification, oil and gas, and renewables.
Transportation of Invasive Species
Aquatic organisms have been transferred since the beginning

of international shipping, mainly by hull fouling and ballast water
Sea-borne trade has grown remarkably in recent years
The introduction of invasive marine species into new habitats can cause the collapse of existing ecosystems.
No. 10
Possible dangers by unwanted species They might: competing with existing species; fast
spreading; carrying toxic substances.
As a consequences: extinction of other species;

collapse of existing ecosystems; as part of the food chain and endangers human live.
No. 11
Samples of invasive species

Zebra Mussel
from Black Sea to North America (1988)
Chinese Mitten Crab

from China to Germany (1903)
North Pacific Seastar North American Jelly Fish

from North America to Black Sea (1988) from China/Korea/Japan to Tasmania (1986)
No. 12
Tanks
Habitats for invasive species Where can such small creatures survive in a shipboard environment?
Ballast Water
Hull Fouling
Sediments
No. 13
But, ballast water is important

Ballast water is important for the safe operation of ships!
Now, it has to be managed not only for the safety of the ship, but our environment.

All of the ballast water of each tank should be

discharged until suction is lost
The tank should be refilled again under open

ocean conditions
No. 44
Sequential method Safety hazards
Loss of stability Global structure Local structure

Damages due to insufficient longitudinal strength Over-/under pressure of tanks Bow slamming Tank sloshing
Weather conditions
Sequential method
Advantages Applicable for new &
existing ships necessary
Disadvantages
Changed loading condition for each step Limitations regarding stability, steel structure, Check of feasibility prior to exchange necessary Extensive pre-planning by crew required (safety reasons)
No conversion work Less time consuming

than flow-through method
No. 46
Flow-through method
A constant flushing of a ballast water tank with

deep sea water
As a minimum 3 exchanges of the ballast water

volume is required Approx. three to four time exchange of the ballast water
volume to replace approx. 95 % to 98 % of the original ballast water by new deep sea water
No. 47
Flow-through method Overflow through airpipe head?
A suitable overflow point needs to be arranged. A constant overflow through the

airpipe head without any modification is not allowed, as the airpipe is not designed for such permanent stresses!
No. 48
Flow-through method Design solutions
Constant overflow through airpipes with bypass Special airpipe head / Alternative airpipe design Constant overflow by overflow systems Ring ballast systems (dilution)
No. 49
Flow-through method
Additional pressure on structure Flow-through method can cause
additional pressure on the tank structure In case overflow point is at a high position,
then a combination of different pressures values occur
It is to be shown by calculation that

the steel structure can compensate this pressure
GL Rules and Regulations I-1-1 Section 4.D
No. 50
Flow-through method Airpipe with bypass
this is not a watertight closing appliance blind flange or valve required
No. 51
Flow-through method Airpipe with bypass
Overflow through bypass at airpipe head

Sufficient diameter of bypass Sufficient drainage of water accessibility to open deck Additional tank pressure steel structure of tank Arrangement of airpipes water accumulation not in cross beam sections
No. 52
Flow-through method Safety measures
Airpipe heads and/or bypass to be suitable to

withstand constant overflow
Accessibility to open decks Tank pressures not to be exceeded (tank structure)

Additional pressure when overflow on deck/overflow line
Pumping operation during flow-through to be

controlled (ring system)
No. 53
Flow-through method
Advantages No change in loading
condition
Disadvantages
Usually conversion work necessary (piping system, airpipes, overflow point, ) Not all tanks designed for constant high pressure
Can be utilised in bad weather conditions
More time consuming than sequential method (approx. 1.5 times) Overflow to open deck not suitable in cold environment

Please take note:

Shipbuilders and ship owners:
consider installation of BW-treatment systems for ships built in 2010 impact on design: space for fitting ballast water treatment system required power capacity of the installed system design of the ballast piping system
Application:
once entered into force: applicable to ships on international voyage, that carry
ballast water for existing ships (built before 01 January 2009) retrofitting of ballast water treatment system will be required
