@thebridgeprep: BWTS OVERVIEW ⚓💧 Ballast Water Treatment System Required by: IMO BWM Convention, Regulation D-2 Purpose: To protect the marine environment from invasive species. Ballast water carries organisms from one port to another. Without treatment, this can damage local ecosystems. BWTS treats ballast water using filtration, UV, or chemical methods to remove or neutralize harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens before discharge. Know your system. Protect the sea we sail on. #BWTS #BWMConvention #MARPOL #MaritimeOrals #SeafarerLife
