Your oceans need YOU
Why should you be as passionate as I am about ballast water?
Why do your vessels need a ballast water treatment (BWT) system that doesn’t just work, but excels?
Why has Optimarin, my company, gone to the time and expense to make a film about this?
Because, my friend, ballast water MATTERS. To you, to society, to the very world we live in. There is arguably no bigger issue in shipping.

Full compliance
Let’s start with business.
Your vessels must install a BWT system before 2024 to conform with IMO regulations. If you want to sail globally, ensuring full fleet flexibility, then you require a system that is both USCG and IMO G8 compliant. And, in a niche defined by new technology, you also need a reliable, simple and market proven system to ensure plain sailing.
In short, you want quality – a system and a supplier you can trust.
Devasting impact
But ballast water’s boring, yes?
No. It’s very, very dangerous… and that’s what this film is about.
Every day around 7,000 marine species are carried in ballast water tanks from one location to another. When untreated water is discharged these ‘invasive species’ thrive in new environments, devasting ecosystems, damaging infrastructure and ruining livelihoods.
The cost to society is immense, while the price nature has to pay is truly devastating.
