To comply with the Ballast Water Management Convention (2004), all ships of 400 GT and above are required to keep a record of each ballast water operation performed on board. This record book assists in compliance with these regulations by providing step by step instructions and blank record tables for both routine and non-routine ballast water operations.

This publication provides a comprehensive introduction to onboard automation and operational safety. With high technical and educational value, it is suitable for marine engineers, students and all who wish to deepen their knowledge of a subject that is not only a technology but also a culture.
