Environmental compliance of ocean-going vessels has become compulsory in recent times. The shipping industry is going through a wide variety of compliance requirements. Some of the recent requirements are the water contamination regulations.
As the shipping industry moves towards sustainability, new environmental regulations are emerging with a focus on reducing emissions, including water emissions. These regulations target water emissions through the Ballast Water Convention, Vessel General Permit (VGP) 2013, and MEPC.340(77). Water emission regulations are not uniform. Some are global and come from the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), while others are specific to individual countries or regions, resulting in variations from the global standards.
Our Water Testing suite of services ensures compliance with the VGP and IMO D1 and D2 standards. The VGP is a permit issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that regulates discharges from vessels in US waters. The IMO is a specialised agency of the United Nations responsible for regulating shipping globally. The D1 and D2 standards refer to the ballast water management practices that ships must comply with. The purpose of these regulations is to minimise the impact of ship operations on the marine environment.
