Ballast Water Testing (IMO D-2 Compliant)
Keep Your Vessel Compliant with IMO Regulations
Under the IMO Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention, ships must ensure their ballast water discharge meets the D-2 performance standard to prevent the spread of harmful aquatic organisms.
We offer onboard sampling, laboratory analysis, and certification as per:
IMO Regulation D-2 (Ballast Water Performance Standard)
IMO G2 Guidelines (Sampling and Analysis)
ISO 11711-1:2013 (Sampling procedures)
Our Ballast Water Testing Covers:
Enumeration of viable organisms (≥50 µm and 10–50 µm size classes)
Pathogen detection: E. coli, Vibrio cholerae (O1/O139), Enterococci
pH, salinity, temperature, turbidity, total residual oxidant (TRO) analysis
Rapid turnaround and report submission for Port State Control (PSC) or flag inspection
IMO D-2 Discharge Limits:
| Organism Type | Standard Limit |
|---|---|
| ≥ 50 µm | < 10 viable organisms per m³ |
| 10–50 µm | < 10 viable organisms per ml |
| Vibrio cholerae | < 1 cfu/100 ml or g |
| E. coli | < 250 cfu/100 ml |
| Enterococci | < 100 cfu/100 ml |
Our laboratory testing ensures every report meets these IMO D-2 limits — accepted by port and class authorities worldwide.
Fresh Water (Drinking Water) Testing
Protect Crew Health and Ensure Water Safety
The fresh or potable water used onboard must meet World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water quality standards to ensure the health and wellbeing of all crew members.
We provide routine and on-demand drinking water testing for vessels, offshore platforms, and ports.
Our Fresh Water Testing Includes:
Bacteriological analysis: E. coli, coliforms, Enterococci
Physical parameters: pH, turbidity, color, taste, odor
Chemical parameters: chlorine levels, metals (lead, iron, copper), hardness, TDS
Certification: Reports meet WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality (4th Edition)
We also provide onboard sample collection, quick lab results, and advice for corrective actions if contamination is detected.
