Ballast Water & Green Technology 2018

About the Conference With higher fuel costs and raising environmental concerns globally, there has been an increased incentive to move to-wards
marine technology that is more eco-friendly in nature. The term “Green Technology” is applied to procedures, de-signs and sys-
tems that helps contribute in an eco-friendly fashion. Green Technology is nothing new and has existed for years but often dis-
regarded for various reasons. With tougher legislation being implemented regarding carbon emissions, it is expected billions of
dollars is to be invested by organizations to meet these emission caps, or risk large penalties. As a result of the investment
geared towards making ships greener and smarter, the industry is continually looking to develop and improve on existing ship
design and systems. With the implementation of the Ballast Water Convention in September of this year has come the rise of
new technologies. ASRANet has decided to focus the second day of the conference on Ballast Water Management technology
and processes aimed at managing this new challenge faced by the marine industry.
The increased importance on being smart, being placed by an increasing amount of stakeholders within a business, is making
it vital that we increase engagement between industry and academia. This is to ensure that the technology and practices
match the ambition and objectives that have been set, and drive R&D across the industry.
