Impending Ratification: Challenges, Concerns and Solutions
Chairman
Dr. Stephan Gollasch, Senior Scientist, GoConsult
The ratification of the Ballast Water Convention and its associated implications represents the biggest change and challenge to face the shipping industry in more than a generation.
With the recent spate ratifications, entry into force moves ever closer, with a date towards the end of 2016 a real possibility. Despite this a great deal of uncertainty remains over a number of issues: IMO vs USCG regulations, approval of systems, testing and compliance as well as planning necessary vessel retrofit, to name a few.
With ratification finally expected in the next 12 months, this event will address these key issues and more through case study presentations, interactive panel discussions and workshops.
