Balpure BWM system up for approval
03 Sep 2010
The BALPURE ballast water management system from the USA company Severn Trent De Nora has been recommended for final approval at the upcoming IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) 61st session.
The Group agreed to the recommendation after reviewing all the information submitted by Germany in the application for final approval. Shipboard testing of the BALPURE system currently underway on the California Maritime Academy training ship, the Golden Bear, is scheduled for completion in December 2010. Type approval of the BALPURE system is expected in early 2011.
