Developments in international and regional ballast water legislation are closely followed by North and the International Group of P&I Clubs.
At this time there is no requirement to amend our Rules. Any claims that relate to ballast water discharge will be dealt with in accordance with the existing framework for fines and compensation for damage.
We have issued the following Circulars:
- International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments and US Ballast Water Management Regulations
- International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 and US Ballast Water Management (BWM) Regulations
If you have any enquiries, see your usual points of contact at North.
