New obligations. Lessons learned. The future of ballast water.
Beginning Tuesday 31 January, Riviera will be holding a series of webinars focused on new and continuing BWMS installation and testing obligations for vessel operators, lessons learned from vendor and operator perspectives and the future of ballast water. Each webinar is meticulously researched and speaks to a key industry challenge, headache or opportunity.
Our webinars are designed to strike the right balance between the transmission of key information and interaction with the expert panel assembled. Those who register will also receive copies of webinar materials after the event.
Our discussions are focused, cover the advertised subjects, and deliver registrants actionable insights.

Fit and forget does not apply following the installation of a type-approved ballast water management system. Vessel operators need to comply with new and varied operational and compliance requirements that come into force between June 2022 and the September 2024 D-2 deadline.
Join us as we discuss
- Why type-approval does not mean compliance
- Understanding installation testing vs commissioning testing
- Explainer: Why from June 2022, the absence of a successful test means Class cannot issue a D-2 certificate.

- Common reasons for commissioning testing failure
- The case for regular (annual) compliance testing
