Fresh Water Analysis
Water is essential to sustain life and every effort should be made to achieve a drinking-water quality as safe as practicable.
To avoid port state control problems, it is advised to issue a Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance (DMLC) for all ships, which can serve as evidence that each ship meets MLC standards. A part of that is the frequent testing of drinking water on-board ships.
BMB supports ship owners and operators with convenient potable water testing, helping to ensure water quality standards are met.
BMB`s analysis services are designed to satisfy the requirements of the World Health Organisation (WHO), the International Labour Organisation, and the Maritime Labour Convention.
Ballast Water Testing
While essential to the safe and efficient operation of modern shipping, ballast water can pose economic, ecological and public health risks when it carries non-native species around the world. Regulations were developed to limit the release of live organisms in ship ballast water to reduce the risks associated with the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Ballast water sampling followed up by detailed analysis is the only way to ensure your shipping activities are being conducted in a safe and clean way.
BMB collectors sample your ballast water in preparation for detailed analysis, the results are displayed using the latest imaging technology and reports can be used to meet voluntary and mandatory regulatory guidelines for ballast water management, treatment and decontamination.
