Ship-to-shore ballast transfer arrangements

  4.3 If consideration is given to providing ship-to-shore connections to transfer ballast to shore-based ballast water reception facilities, the arrangements should be compatible with a recognized standard such as those in the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) "Recommendations for Oil Tankers Manifolds and Associated Equipment". It is recognized that this standard was originally produced for oil transfer connections, however the general principles in this standard can be applied to connections for ballast transfer in particular the sections related to flanges and connection methods.
