USCG BWMS Type Approval Status Update - April 2018
Two more applications for type approval have been received by the USCG recently. These are the BallastAce system, manufactured by JFE Engineering Corp, and Panasia’s GloEn-Patrol system. According to news site ballastwatermanagement.co.uk two earlier applications were made to the USCG which do not appear in this latest overview. One of the missing applications according to the news site is Wärtsilä’s Aquarius EC BWMS. In a reaction from USCG to ballastwatermanagement.co.uk it was made clear that apparently the Wärtsilä application was not yet complete and therefore not yet published. The other alleged missing application is known to the news site, but has not been made public yet.
