I am aware that BWM is an independent convention and ships need to have a BWM Plan on board as per this convention. Is there anywhere written in MARPOL for the requirement of BWMP?

I am an experienced Captain. Mainly sailed on Chemical Tankers.

As you rightly said, BWM is an independent convention and there is no relation of any annex of the Marpol with the ballast water management, I do not think MARPOL will have any mention of the requirement of ballast water management plan.

Correct me if you find any information otherwise.
