Abstract

In installing ballast water treatment system, the cost of the system is high and many technical aspectsare to be considered and also it takes significant time to retro-fitting on the existing ships. In addition,in the current circumstance which the Ballast Water Management Convention has not been entered into force,the 28th IMO Assembly adopted a resolution to mediate the implementation schedule of the treatmentsystems. In the mean time, California State and New York State have declared more stringent discharge requirementsof ballast water and are planning to implement them earlier than the schedule of the Convention. In these circumstances, the implication in the difference between ballast water treatment system manufacturersand ship owners need to be considered. In this study, through the review on the considerations when installing the system onboard, stringent requirementsof United States of America, and determent or mediated implementation schedules of Convention andCalifornia and New York States, the author would like to suggest the strategy of concerned parties for anticipatedentrry into force of the Convention and implementation of the stringent requirements of United States of America.
