INTRODUCTION
Ballast water is essential to control trim, list, draught, stability, or stresses of the vessel. However,
ballast water may contain aquatic organisms or pathogens which, if introduced into the sea including
estuaries, or into fresh water courses, may create hazards to the environment, human health, property
or resources, impair biological diversity or interfere with other legitimate uses of such areas.
This plan is written in accordance with the requirements of Regulation B-1 of the International
Convention for the Control and Management of Vessels' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 (the
Convention) and the associated Guidelines.
The purpose of the plan is to meet the requirements for the control and management of vessel’s
ballast water and sediments in accordance with the Guidelines for Ballast Water Management and the
Development of Ballast Water Management Plans (G4) resolution MEPC.127(53). It provides standard
operational guidance for the planning and management of vessels' ballast water and sediments and
describes safe procedures to be followed.
The selection of appropriate methods of Ballast Water Management should take into account the need
to ensure that Ballast Water Management practices used to comply with the Convention do not cause
greater harm to the environment, human health, property or resources of any States and the safety of
vessels, than they prevent.
This plan has been approved by DNV GL and no alteration or revision shall be made to any part of it
without the prior approval of DNV GL.
This plan may be inspected on request by an authorized authority.

PURPOSE
The ballast water management plan aims to assist governments, appropriate authorities, vessels'
Masters, operators, owners, port authorities as well as other interested parties, in preventing,
minimising and ultimately eliminating the risk of introducing harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens
from vessels' ballast water and associated sediments while protecting vessels' safety.
Good record keeping is critical to the success of a sound ballast water management program. The
appointed ballast water management officer is responsible for ensuring the maintenance of
appropriate records and that the ballast water management and treatment procedures are followed
and recorded. Reference is made to Appendix 1 and 2.
It is the owners/managers or Master's responsibility to regularly review the plan and ensure that the
information contained therein is accurate and updated.

2.0 Ballast water management operation
2.1 General
Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) means any system which processes ballast water such
that it meets or exceeds the ballast water performance standard in regulation D-2. The BWMS
includes ballast water treatment equipment, all associated control equipment, monitoring equipment
and sampling facilities.
BWMS means equipment which mechanically, physically, chemically, or biologically processes, either
singularly or in combination, to remove, render harmless, or avoid the uptake or discharge of harmful
aquatic organisms and pathogens within ballast water and sediments. Ballast water treatment
equipment may operate at the uptake or discharge of ballast water, during the voyage, or at a
combination of these events.
It must be ensured that the ballast water treatment system installed is approved in accordance with
Regulation D-3 of the Convention. All systems (type) approved by any IACS Class society and
physically inspected by Class’ surveyor after installation should fulfil this requirement.
The system should only be operated in accordance with the system design criteria and manufacturer's
operational and maintenance instructions. When the system encounters malfunctions or failure, these
are to be recorded in the ballast water record book.

LIFE INACTIVATION ENDED
Not sufficient water when running “Inactivation of remaining life”

If not sufficient water is present in the ballast system and the system cannot be fed from the
ballast tanks then the system must be filled using a sea chest valve.
In such events the water has to be filtered. Following changes must be done in the
“Inactivation of remaining life” procedure:
• Turn the “Control On” switch on the Filter Control (+FC) cabinet to OFF to prevent
automatic back flushing of the filter to be started.
• Step 03 in the procedure above must be altered from “Start deballasting” to “Start
ballasting”. This enables the filter to be used.
3.3.6 Emergency shut-down
The correct use of emergency shut‐down of the system is very important to ensure the safety of
personnel and safe operation of the vessel.
The following emergency shut‐down functions are included:
• Emergency stop button on the Control Panel;
• Emergency stop button on the Sensor Box;
• Automatic shut-downs.
A complete alarm list is found in the Optimarin Operations, Maintenance and Safety manual 7.
3.3.7 By-pass
Any bypass of the system will generate an alarm which is logged in the control and monitoring
equipment of the ballast system.
For this purpose the below listed bypass combinations are programmed into the vessel’s automation
system. When an illegal bypass is active the vessel’s automation system will forward this to the
Control Panel of the BWTS. The Control Panel ensures logging of the bypass actions and will activate
the sound alarm.
For this vessel the following combinations will be alarmed:
1. B14=’NOT CLOSED’;
2. GS12=’NOT CLOSED’ AND B18=’NOT CLOSED’;
3. GS2=’NOT CLOSED’ AND GS9=’NOT CLOSED’;
8. DR5=’NOT CLOSED’ AND DR9=’NOT CLOSED’;
13. DR15=’NOT CLOSED’ AND GS1=’NOT CLOSED’;
14. DR15=’NOT CLOSED’ AND GS11=’NOT CLOSED’;
15. BWT4=’NOT CLOSED’ AND B3=’NOT CLOSED’;

GS11=’NOT CLOSED’;
20. OBV01=’NOT CLOSED’ (this is automatically monitored by the BWTS itself).
3.4 Handling of untreated ballast water

Untreated water in pipelines
The ballast water pipeline may contain untreated water in case of e.g. bypass of the BWMS, common
pipeline for ballast water uptake and discharge or BWMS failure. To avoid discharge of untreated
ballast water, the following procedure will be carried out: inactivation of remaining life procedure as
described in chapter 3.3.5.
Ballast water remaining in tanks

Ballast water remaining in the tanks after de-ballasting which has been treated only upon intake may
contain organisms that can reproduce in the ballast tanks potentially serving as a contamination
source for subsequent ballasting. To minimize the possibility of contamination it is important to empty
the tanks as much as possible.
3.5 Safety and emergency procedures

The ballast water management system should not contain or use any substance of a dangerous
nature, unless adequate arrangements for storage, application, mitigation, and safe handling are
provided to mitigate any hazards introduced thereby.
For this equipment, the safety arrangements are referred to in Optimarin Operations, Maintenance and
Safety manual chapter 5.
The following Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is provided in case of emergency:
• Self-contained breathing apparatus

• Gloves
• Boots
• Protective clothing
The Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) can be found in the fire control station.
3.6 Maintenance
Maintenance should only be performed by qualified engineers.
Maintenance should be performed in accordance with Optimarin Operations, Maintenance and Safety
manual chapter 6.

4.0 Precautionary practices
4.1 Minimising uptake or transfer of harmful aquatic organisms, pathogens and

sediments
Wherever possible, ballast water should be taken outside of port waters and as far from the coast as
practicable. Consideration should also be given to the use of dockside water supplies
(water not taken directly from the harbor, such as fresh water, potable water etc.) as source for ballast
water.
When loading ballast water, every effort should be made to avoid the uptake of potentially harmful
aquatic organisms, pathogens and sediments that may contain such organisms. The uptake of ballast
water should be minimized or, where practicable, avoided in areas and situations such as:
1. areas identified by the port state in connection with warnings provided by ports concerning
ballast uptake and any other port contingency arrangements in the event of emergency
situations
2. in darkness when organisms may rise up in the water column
3. in very shallow water
4. where propellers may stir up sediment
5. areas with current large phytoplankton blooms (algal blooms such as red tides)
6. nearby sewage outfalls
7. where a tidal stream is known to be more turbid
8. where tidal flushing is known to be poor
9. in areas close to aquaculture
10. where dredging is or recently has been carried out.
If it is necessary to take on and discharge ballast water in the same location, care should be taken to
avoid unnecessary discharge of ballast water that has been taken up in another location.
4.2 Non-release/minimal release of ballast water

The requirements to ballast water management differ from port state to port state. Some have no
requirements, some require reporting of ballast water practice and record book.
4.3 Discharge to reception facilities

If reception facilities for ballast water and/or sediments are provided by a port state, they should,
where appropriate, be utilized.
Page 18 of 36
Caledonian Vanguard
Revision 0
5.0 Sediment management

Water taken up as ships' ballast can contain solid alluvial matter that, once the water is becalmed in a
ship’s ballast tank, will settle out onto the bottom of the tank and other internal structures.
Aquatic organisms can also settle out of the ballast water and can continue to exist within the
sediment. These organisms can survive for long periods after the water they were originally in has
been discharged. They may thereby be transported from their natural habitat and discharged in
another port or area where they may cause injury or damage to the environment, human health,
property and resources.
As this vessel is equipped with a ballast water treatment system using filtration of the ballast water as
part of the treatment method, the accumulation of sediment will be very limited.
5.1 General requirements

All practical steps should be taken during ballast uptake to avoid sediment accumulation, it is however
recognised that sediment will be taken onboard and settle on tank surfaces.
The volume of the sediment should be monitored on a regular basis.
Sediment in ballast tanks should be removed in a timely basis and as found necessary. The frequency
and timing of removal will depend on factors such as sediment build up, ship’s trading pattern,
availability of reception facilities, work load of the ship’s personnel and safety considerations.
5.2 Procedure for safe tank entry

If it should be necessary sending a person into a tank for cleaning or taking water samples or for other
purposes, the following should be noted:
Due to the possibility that an enclosed space may have an oxygen deficient, flammable or toxic
atmosphere, which will not support life, or involves risk of explosion, it is important establish that the
risk and hazards have been eliminated and that the enclosed space is safe for entry.
The procedures for Safe Tank Entry should be contained in the companies controlled Safety
Management System (SMS) Manuals.
IACS recommendation No. 72 regarding confined space safe practice should be observed:
Only enter a confined space when a permit to enter has been issued and if you consider it is safe to
do so, and then only remain in the inside for as long as it is necessary to carry out the work. It is the
full responsibility of the owner of the confined space (i.e. ship, shipyard) to make and ensure that the
confined space is safe to enter.
5.3 Disposal of sediments to shore

Removal of sediment from ballast tanks should preferably be undertaken under controlled conditions
in port, at a repair facility or in dry dock. The removed sediment should preferably be disposed of in a
sediment reception facility if available, reasonable and practicable.
One should be aware that sediments lying undisturbed for some time may give off toxic gases and
appropriate measures must be taken to protect the crew carrying out the job.
Page 19 of 36
Caledonian Vanguard
Revision 0
5.4 Disposal of sediments at sea

When sediment is removed from the ship’s ballast tanks and is to be disposed of by that ship at sea,
such disposal should only take place in areas outside 200nm from land and in water depths of over
200m.
Part of the mud may be removed by water movement within a tank to bring sediments to suspension.
In double bottom tanks this is achieved by filling clean water 0.5-1 meter sounding in mild weather
conditions and keeping it for about 6 hours before pumping it out.
In addition the Master may decide to store the sediments onboard the vessel when this will not hamper
the security and operational maintenance of the vessel, her cargo and the crew. The sediments must
then be disposed of as described above.
Special care is to be taken if ballast water has been carried in spaces designated for other purposes,
such as fuel, oil, fresh water tanks etc. Disposal of the sediments then depends upon the final mixture,
e.g. if ballast water is carried in the fuel tanks, more stringent requirements than described above are
to be considered.

6.0 Ballast water sampling
6.1 General
Sampling of ballast water is primarily a matter for the authorised inspection officers during port state
control. For crew members there is unlikely any need to take samples except at the express request
and under the supervision of authorised inspection officers.
The authorized inspection officers should be advised of all safety procedures to be observed when
entering enclosed spaces.
For practical recommendations regarding sampling techniques and procedures, refer to Annex to
MEPC.173(58) – G2 Guidelines, addressing the following:
• Sampling from the ballast water discharge line
• Sampling from ballast water tanks
• Sampling and analysis protocols
• Sample data forms
• Health and safety aspects
• Recommendation for a port state control ballast water sampling kit
• Maintenance, storage, labelling and transportation
• Chain of custody record
6.2 Sampling for compliance with Regulation D-2

Compliance with ballast water performance standard (D-2) should be assessed at ballast water
discharge, as near to the point of discharge as practicable, during ballast water discharge whenever
this is possible.
In-tank sampling to provide an indication of compliance with standard D-2 should only be used if
ballast water treatment process occurs on uptake, prior to or whilst ballast water is in the tank. If any
part of the treatment or neutralization process is applied during the ballast water discharge, then in-
tank sampling is inappropriate.
For this vessel, sampling for compliance with the ballast water discharge standard is provided through
the following: sampling ballast water discharge line.
6.3 Sampling from the ballast water discharge line

For this ship, sampling for compliance with the ballast water discharge standard can only be done at
ballast water discharge as a second treatment is applied during ballast water discharge.
Reference is made to Part 1 of the Annex to MEPC.173(58) – G2 Guidelines for recommendations
regarding sampling techniques and procedures.
Sampling point A should be used during de-ballasting for sampling the efficacy of the treatment
system. Sampling point B is for reference only as it samples the water when it is not yet (fully) treated.

7.0 Methods of communication

This section contains procedures to assist the Master in coordinating the discharge of ballast in waters
of a coastal state, local government or other involved parties.
The quick and effective communication between the ship and coastal state or other involved party
becomes vital in mitigating the effects of an unnecessary delay.
The requirements and roles of the various national and local authorities involved vary widely between
states and even from port to port. In the majority of coastal states, responsibility for compliance with
port state requirements is placed on the ship owner and the ship.
The port state authorities should be contacted for specific ballast water discharge requirements and
reporting, prior to the vessel's arrival in port state's territorial waters.
Therefore, the Master with the responsible officer should timely obtain all necessary information and
prepare the vessel accordingly, taking into consideration the safety and operational restrictions as
described in this plan and relevant sections. Information on specific port state procedures can be
obtained by consulting the company and local agent for latest information and requirements.
7.1 Action to be taken by the vessel where coastal state has specific procedures for
discharge of ballast water
• follow agreed reporting procedures

• contact ship's agent and/or company to ascertain latest information on ballast discharge
requirements in the water of respective state
• ensure to timely plan for above actions and that safety and operational restrictions are met
• keep proper records and have them readily available for possible inspection
7.2 Action to be taken by the vessel where coastal state has no specific procedures
for discharge of ballast water
• contact ship's agent and/or company to obtain latest information on ballast discharge
requirements in the water of respective state
• take into consideration safety and operational procedures related to respective discharge
• keep proper records and have them readily available for possible inspection

9.0 Crew training and familiarization

It is essential that the Master, ship's officer and crew have an understanding of the need for ballast
water management.
If crew members understand the reasons for the treatment of ballast water and associated sediments,
they are more likely to ensure that it is carried out effectively and efficiently.
Owners, managers, operators and others involved in officer and crew training for ballast water
management should consider the following:
training for vessels' Masters and crews as appropriate should include instructions on the requirements
of the Convention, the ballast water and sediment management procedures and the ballast water
record book, drawing particular attention to matters of ship safety, maintenance of records and
reporting requirements in accordance with the Convention.
Provisions for crew training and familiarisation include the following:
• general requirements for ballast water management;
• training and information on ballast water management practices;
• ballast water treatment systems installed onboard;
• general safety considerations;
• the ballast water record book and maintenance of records;
• safety aspects associated with the particular systems and procedures used onboard the ship
which affect the safety or human health of crew and passengers and/or the safety of the ship;
• precautions for entering tanks for sediment removal;
• procedures for the safe handling and packaging of sediment; and
• storage of sediment

10.0 Recording requirements

The ballast water management officer is to ensure that the Ballast Water Record Book and any other
necessary documentation and forms are kept up-to-date.
The Ballast Water Record Book may be an electronic record system or may be integrated into another
record book or system.
The Ballast Water Record Book entries shall be maintained on board the ship for a minimum period of
three years after the last entry has been made. The ballast water record book shall be kept readily for
survey.
The control equipment of the ballast water treatment system is able to store data for at least 24
months. The requirements for type approval are that the control equipment should be able to display
or print a record for official inspections as required.
In the event the control equipment is replaced, means should be provided to ensure the data recorded
prior to replacement remains available on board for 24 months.
