IRClass Academy, in association with the Singapore Nautical Institute, delivered a one-day training course on Ballast Water Management (BWM) in Singapore in March, 2017.

Delivered by Joint Managing Director of IRClass Mr. Vijay Arora, the course was designed to equip participants with a better understanding of the requirements of BWM Convention set to enter into force on 08 Sep 2017.

The BWM Convention aims to prevent the spread of harmful aquatic organisms from one region to another, by establishing standards and procedures for the management, and control of ships' ballast water and sediments.

The course was well-attended by representatives from various prominent shipping and maritime organizations in Southeast Asia. According to Mr. Arora, IRClass Academy is fully committed to conduct cost-effective training programmes on upcoming regulatory changes.
