Description:

This regulation-focused course provides shipboard and shore-based personnel with a complete, practical understanding of how to maintain inspection-ready Ballast Water Record Books (BWRB) under the updated requirements entering into force on 1 February 2025.

Anchored in RESOLUTION MEPC.369(80) and the amended Ballast Water Management Convention (2004), the course translates complex IMO provisions into clear, step-by-step documentation methods. Participants learn how to record uptake, exchange, circulation, discharge, internal transfers, bypass events, and failures in a defensible, auditable format. Through real examples, case-based quizzes, and templates, seafarers develop confidence in creating logs that withstand PSC, flag, and company audits.
