AddtoWishList CreateWishList Close × ShortOverview The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 (BWM Convention), is concerned with preventing, minimizing and ultimately eliminating the risks to the environment, human health, property and resources arising from the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens, through the control and management of ships’ ballast water and sediments. This publication aims to provide an easy and comprehensive reference to the up-to-date provisions and Unified Interpretations of the Articles and Annex of the BWM Convention. DetailedOverview The BWM Convention also aims to avoid unwanted side-effects from that control and encourages developments in related knowledge and technology.The 2018 consolidated edition reproduces: the updated text of the BWM Convention, including the incorporation of the amendments that have been adopted by the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) at its 72nd session (9 to 13 April 2018); the text of the Code for Approval of Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS Code), also adopted by MEPC 72; four Conference resolutions adopted at the International Conference on Ballast Water Management for Ships held at IMO’s Headquarters in London from 9 to 13 February 2004; the up-to-date set of Guidelines for the uniform implementation of the Convention developed and adopted by MEPC, including revised versions adopted by MEPC up to its 71st session (3 to 7 July 2017); and other guidelines related to the implementation of the Convention. Introduction The harmful effects of unwanted species in ships’ ballast water was first reported to IMO in 1988, when Canada informed the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) about invasive aquatic species in the Great Lakes. In response, the MEPC adopted in 1991 the first voluntary guidelines for preventing the introduction into the marine environment of unwanted aquatic organisms and pathogens from ships’ ballast waters and sediment discharges.Following the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the MEPC guidelines were reviewed and adopted as an Assembly resolution in 1993. The twentieth session of the IMO Assembly in 1997 adopted resolution A.868(20), Guidelines for the control and management of ships’ ballast water to minimize the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens, which superseded earlier and less comprehensive guidelines. The new resolution requested Governments to take urgent action in applying the guidelines and to report any experience gained in their implementation to the MEPC. The resolution further requested the MEPC to work towards the completion of legally binding provisions on ballast water management together with guidelines for their uniform and effective implementation.From 1999 onwards, the Ballast Water Working Group, established by the MEPC in 1994, focused on the preparation of a free-standing Convention on control and management of ships’ ballast water and sediments. In 2002, the World Summit on Sustainable Development, held in Johannesburg, called for action at all levels to accelerate the development of measures to address invasive alien species in ballast water. The introduction of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens to new environments has been identified as one of the four greatest threats to the world’s oceans (the other three being land-sourced marine pollution, overexploitation of living marine resources and destruction of habitat). Proper control and management of ships’ ballast water is therefore a major environmental challenge for IMO and the global shipping industry.In accordance with Article 2(b) of the Convention on the International Maritime Organization, the IMO Council agreed in principle to convene a diplomatic conference in 2003 to consider the adoption of the instrument.At its eighty-ninth session in November 2002, the Council reconsidered the matter and approved the convening of the Diplomatic Conference in early 2004. The decision of the Council was endorsed by the twenty-third session of the Assembly in December 2003 and the International Conference on Ballast Water Management for Ships was held at IMO’s headquarters in London from 9 to 13 February 2004.The Conference adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (the Ballast Water Management Convention or BWM Convention), together with four Conference resolutions.Several articles and regulations of the BWM Convention refer to guidelines to be developed by the Organization and Conference resolution 1 invites IMO to develop these guidelines as a matter of urgency and adopt them as soon as practicable and, in any case, before the entry into force of the Convention, with a view to facilitate global and uniform implementation of the instrument.The MEPC, at its fifty-first session in April 2004, approved a programme for the development of guidelines and procedures for uniform implementation ofthe BWM Convention, listed in Conference resolution 1, including additional guidance required but not listed in the resolution, which was further expandedat the fifty-third session of the MEPC in July 2005. In accordance with this programme, 14 sets of Guidelines were developed and adopted betweenthe fifty-third and fifty-eighth sessions of the MEPC by October 2008, while subsequently some of these Guidelines were revised and additional oneswere also adopted.
