| Abstract |
In the past, the purpose of ballast water sampling studies was limited to general scientific interest, awareness raising or the determination of organism numbers per water volume. In this chapter we focus on compliance control sampling with BWM requirements as set out in the BWM Convention. Key aspects described are sampling methods and approaches to take a representative ballast water sample and the need for a harmonised sampling approach, to avoid that the ballast water of a vessel is proven compliant in one port, but would not be proven compliant in another port just because of different sampling methods or approaches used. In this chapter we describe suitable compliance control sampling methods and approaches and address both indicative and detailed sampling. Details on possible sampling access points, equipment and other details recommended for in-tank and in-line sampling are given. Further, recommendations are given how samples should be handled, including suitable sample transport and storage conditions. Another subject of this chapter addresses organism detection technologies for indicative and detailed sample analysis for compliance control with BWM standards. Suitable organism detection technologies are recommended in the end of the chapter. |
