┃Ballast water sampling analysis
We conduct ballast water sampling and analysis for both newly constructed and operational vessels.
We established the ballast water sampling business in December 2021.Utilizing the track record of 3D laser scanning for visiting ships in the retrofit business, we smoothly carry out inspection work. In addition, by forming a business alliance with an analysis specialist in China, we have expanded our sampling capabilities beyond Japan to cover all of China, as well as Singapore, South Korea, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Sampling water will be analyzed at our company and domestic laboratories, and IMO D-2 certificate will be issued the 2 working days, and VGP certificate will be issued within 2 weeks. Since we are experienced in the construction design for BWMS installation, we are have a extensive knowledge through which we could support the owner of any uncertainties during this process.
■VGP-2013
This pertains to regulations applicable to vessels intending to operate in U.S. waters. It applies to vessels requiring to de-ballast within VGP applicable areas (U.S. waters within 3 nautical miles from coast). In the first year, sampling must be conducted twice. If both samples meet the standards, subsequent sampling and analysis from the following year onward UV-type equipment sampling required once annually and for other types sampling is required twice annually.
■IMO D-2
After June 1, 2022, all vessels equipped with BWMS are to be subjected to standardized sampling and analysis regulations. This is conducted during commissioning and only once in the vessel’s lifetime. Vessels holding the International Ballast Water Management Certificate (BWMC) and BWMS installed after June 1, 2022 are not required to undergo additional ballast water analysis during periodic inspections (renewal inspections, etc.).

■Sampling Achievements
We conduct sampling and analysis at numerous ports primarily across Japan. Additionally, through collaboration with our partner analysis firms, we conduct frequent visits for sampling in China and Singapore. For more details, Please contact our representatives or the inquiry form below.
