IMO Ballast Water Management Convention & BWMS Code with Guidelines for Implementation, 2018 Edition
The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments,2004 (BWM Convention), is concerned with preventing, minimizing and ultimately eliminating the risks to the environment, human health, property and resources arising from the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens, through the control and management of ships’ ballast water and sediments. The BWM Convention also aims to avoid unwanted side-effects from that control and encourages
developments in related knowledge and technology.

- the text of the Code for Approval of Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS Code), also adopted by MEPC 72;
- four Conference resolutions adopted at the International Conference on Ballast Water Management for Ships held at IMO’s Headquarters in London from
9 to 13 February 2004;
