BALLAST WATER TESTING
Nutrilab-Maritime Labs can provide a new service for ballast water in compliance with the requirements of the international ballast water management requirements. The Ballast water management convention was developed after concerns expressed by Canada and Australia during the 80s about invasive species introduced in their marine environment. The regulation D-1 of BWM addresses the ballast water exchange standards and the regulation D-2 provides the ballast water performance standard for the discharge of organisms from ships. The personnel of our lab is highly trained to give accurate and reliable results.
