In November 2023, five Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS) were added to the list awaiting US Coast Guard type approval. These systems, already holding USCG approval, are undergoing upgrades necessitating amendments to their existing approvals, reports Rivera.
New BWMS
The newly added BWMS include Techcross (ECS & ECS-A), Panasia Co Ltd (GloEn-Patrol, and GloEn-Patrol 2.0), DESMI Ocean Guard A/S (CompactClean), and TeamTec BWMS AS (Senza BWMS).
Previously Incorporated list
Additionally, four other previously USCG-approved BWMS have been incorporated in the 2023 list: Wärtsilä Water Systems (Aquarius UV), Norwegian Greentech AS (NGT BWMS), Semb-Eco Pte, Ltd (LUV U1), and BAWAT A/S (BAWAT BWMS Mk 2).
Among the ten BWMS pending approval, only the Techcross ECS-HYCLHOR 2.0 BWMS lacks prior type-approval.
