VGP Testing (Vessel General Permit Testing):
Ensures compliance with the EPA’s Vessel General Permit for vessel discharge standards, including ballast water discharge.
BWTS D2 Commissioning Test (Ballast Water Treatment System D2 Commissioning Test):
Validates BWTS installation alignment with design specifications or Type Approval.
At Normec Verifavia, we provide crucial environmental compliance and safe vessel operations testing.
The VGP requires water testing to assess the environmental impact of discharges from vessels, such as ballast water, bilgewater, and graywater. Testing ensures compliance with water quality standards.
VGP requirements apply to most commercial vessels operating in U.S. waters.
Non-compliance may result in penalties, fines, or restrictions on vessel operations. Corrective actions are necessary to meet VGP requirements.
Accredited laboratories or authorized personnel perform VGP testing. Their expertise ensures accurate results and adherence to regulatory standards.
All ships must meet D2 standards by 8th September 2024.
