Innovation maritime initiated the NISOB project to address the risk of introduction of invasive species by ships’ ballast water. A rigorous scientific analysis of the treated water has been carried out by laboratories to verify compliance with the standards established by the ballast water control and management Regulations. The technologies tested onboard were intended, among other things, to help the marine industry reduce the risk of introduction of invasive species into Canadian waters, protect Canada’s ecosystems from non-native species, meet Canadian government standards for ballast water.
