RMS St Helena - Doing our bit - Ballast Management
Ballast Water Management The transportation of aquatic species to other
area where they are not indigenous is a matter that currently being
addressed by the International Maritime Organisation and legislation to
manage the discharge of Ballast Water will enter force in the next two
years. Mean while the RMS St Helena does its best not to discharge
clean salt water ballast in areas where it did not originate.
