Our company has been involved with ballast water for 16 years. Very simply – we’re experienced and deeply involved with the many facets of this complex global topic. We’ve worked with treatment system manufacturers, shipowners/operators, crew members, regulatory agencies, scientists, analytical laboratories and a wide range of maritime service providers. This allows us to evaluate the differing perspectives and perform work with a holistic view.
We can provide the singular answers or the complete programs you need for compliance with the:
- IMO Ballast Water Convention
- USCG Ballast Water Regulations
- US EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP), including individual state requirements
We offer VGP ballast water sampling and analytical partner services in major US ports. Click here to View EPA Vessel General Permit Sampling Services (PDF).
