The UK has begun the process to develop legislation to implement the requirements of the Ballast Water Management Convention and is currently collating the data and information required in order to complete the legislative process. The UK has not yet acceded to the Convention but expects to introduce legislation and accede to the Convention in Autumn 2019.
