Starting this year and ongoing over the next 5 years, the International Maritime Organization and the U.S. Coast Guard are requiring an estimated 65,000 ships over 400 gross tons to be fitted with approved Ballast Water Treatment Systems, “BWTS.” Global Water Intelligence estimates that the average cost to install each system is more than $750,000 and the total cost to operators to outfit every vessel will be about $50 billion. This does not comprise operating costs and maintenance.
Increasing concerns over the transfer of invasive marine species across the world’s oceans through the transport and disposal of ballast water by large vessels have prompted the requirement.
