Regular calibration and certification services for your Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) stand as indispensable measures to ensure optimal functionality and stringent compliance with regulatory standards. The imperative to engage certified, globally recognized companies with highly trained technicians for consistent maintenance of your BWTS cannot be overstated. It’s paramount to ensure compliance and operational efficiency throughout the vessel’s operations.
According to an article on choosing a ballast water treatment supplier published in February 2018 in Seatrade Maritime News, it is important to have “an established marine supplier with a stable and well-developed global service network to service and calibrate your BWTS.” Mr. Marine Ballast not only meets but exceeds these criteria.

Annual Calibration and Certification services for your Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) are paramount to ensuring that the system functions within the admissible metrics and provides accurate data. The calibration process for ballast water treatment systems encompasses an extensive series of procedures and measurements aimed at verifying the system’s adherence to regulatory standards and manufacturer specifications. This comprehensive calibration involves:
The requirements for the calibration of the BWMS components that take measurements are set by EPA and IMO. Below you can find an overview of these requirements:
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final 2013 VGP (2.2.3.5.1.1.3), “at a minimum all applicable sensors and other equipment must be calibrated annually. Additionally, all applicable sensors and other control equipment must be calibrated no less frequently than recommended by the sensor or other equipment manufacturer, or by the ballast water treatment system manufacturer […] ”. A higher frequency in calibration is expected for many sensor types, like TRO sensors. During the time when the sensors are not installed or they are not functional, the vessel is not allowed to discharge the ballast water.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) BWM.2/Circ.66/Rev.4 also reads that “facilities shall be provided for checking, at the renewal surveys and according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the performance of the BWMS components that take measurements.”
Therefore annual/regular calibration of the measuring components is mandatory for ensuring the safe and compliant functioning of the BWTS.
