Fig. 7 The main “intended” and “deviated” vessel routes from ballast water source ports through
the BWEA to the Port of Koper; the potential extension for BWE on routes was considered for
intra-Adriatic traffi c (David 2007 )

be able to conduct BWE in the BWEA, hence, this was considered as not feasible as
it would cause an undue delay to the vessel (see Fig. 7 ).
The approximate lengths of the intended routes through the BWEA are:

- 290 nautical miles for vessels sailing from outside the Adriatic (zones 3 and 4);

- 230 nautical miles for vessels sailing from Durres (zone 2);

- 200 nautical miles for vessels sailing from Brindisi (zone 2);

- 150 nautical miles (in two sections) for vessels sailing from Bar (zone 2); and

- 100 nautical miles for vessels sailing from Bari and Manfredonia (zone 2).

The approximate lengths of the deviated routes through the BWEA are:

- 160 nautical miles for vessels sailing from Bari;

- 190 nautical miles for vessels sailing from Bar;
