Ballast Water Management Under the Ballast Water Management Convention
2014The importance of ballast water as a vector for moving non-indigenous species was initially addressed in a 1973 International Maritime Organization (IMO) resolution. Subsequently IMO worked towards the finalization of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention) which was adopted in ...

To eliminate the introduction of foreign marine species which are nowadays the main concern and reason for the introduction of ballast treatment systems, a new concept in ship design was developed as an alternative. Most of them are still more theoretical than practical, except one concept.

Ballast water sediment management in ports
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019In order to estimate the possible effects of existing ballast tank sediment management routine in ports the respective legal framework from different states was examined and the operational modes of selected Adriatic shipyards was analysed. The goal was to determine if the States' administration and ports' management are aware of risks which sediments ...

Ballast water sediment elemental analysis
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2016Sediment samples from the ballast water tanks of ships calling at the port of Rijeka in the Northern Adriatic were analysed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) using caesium, argon and oxygen ion beams.

Macroalgal survival in ballast water tanks
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2007Despite a large amount of research into invasive species and their introductions, there have been no studies focused on macroalgal transport in ballast water. To address this, we collected replicate samples of ballast water from 12 ships in two Mediterranean harbours (Naples and Salerno).

Commercial vessels are built for the transport of various cargoes or passengers. When a vessel is not fully laden, additional weight is required to provide for the vessel’s seaworthiness, e.g. to compensate for the increased buoyancy which can result in the lack of propeller immersion, inadequate transversal and longitudinal inclination, and other ...

Sterilization of Ships’ Ballast Water
2013In this chapter, applied research on microbubble dynamics induced by shock waves is presented for the sterilization treatment of marine bacteria contained in ships’ ballast water. Destruction of the marine ecosystem caused by sea creatures carried in ships’ ballast water to different seas is a serious global issue in the field of maritime sciences ...
