We need to keep focused on ballast even as we move on GLRI and other fronts. If ships aren't willing to comply with the air standards they are sure to complain when new ballast technology is introduced. Don is right!

It might also be noted that Senator Boxer also had a renewed interest in shipping air quality after the demise, she created for ballast water legislation on the 110 congress.
