Dynamic Simulation and Characteristic Analysis on Freezing Process in Ballast Tanks of Polar LNG Carriers

Applied Sciences
The ballast tank is a critical system for LNG carriers, ensuring structural safety and stability during navigation. When LNG carriers navigate in polar regions, the ballast tank is prone to freezing, which will reduce the efficiency of ballast water ...

Preventing Maritime Transfer of Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Organisms, including Vibrio cholerae, can be transferred between harbors in the ballast water of ships. Zones in the Caribbean region where distance from shore and water depth meet International Maritime Organization guidelines for ballast water exchange

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Harmful Introductions and Ballast Water Management- an Emerging Problem in the Northern Adriatic

Promet (Zagreb), 2002
The article calls our attention to the existing dangers of potentiallyharmful 01ganisms being introduced in our sea withships ballast water and to the need of having this maller undercontrol.

Prevalence and Implications of “Must‐Kill” Angling Regulations for the Management of Invasive Fishes

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 260-270, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater biodiversity is increasingly threatened by invasive species, which can disrupt native fish populations and the fisheries they support. Must‐kill regulations, which prohibit the live release of invasive fish caught by recreational anglers, are a management strategy that can be implemented to limit the negative effects of invasive ...

Biological testing of ships’ ballast water indicates challenges for the implementation of the Ballast Water Management Convention

Frontiers in Marine Science
Ships’ ballast water and sediments are vectors that contribute to the unintentional spread of aquatic non-native species globally. Ballast water management, as well as commissioning testing of ballast water management systems and compliance monitoring ...

Trophic Changes off Southwest Greenland During the Holocene and Their Influence on Carbon Burial

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Organic carbon (OC) burial in sediments is partly controlled by catabolic biodegradation and remineralization by heterotrophic bacteria, but long‐term records of these bacterially‐mediated processes have not been available. Here, we use stable hydrogen isotope ratio of the saturated C16 fatty acid (δ2HC16:0) as a proxy of the prevalence of ...

Atmospheric Dynamics of IR‐Active Particles Released From Mars' Surface

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Surface release of radiatively active particles, with high infrared‐ (IR‐)to‐visible extinction ratios, has been proposed as a method of warming Mars. However, to warm Mars using aerosols, particles released locally must disperse globally. Here we provide an initial reference study in a plume tracking, dry Martian atmospheric model to address ...

Application of Hydrocyclone and UV Radiation as a Ballast Water Treatment Method

Promet (Zagreb), 2010
The ballast water exchange methods in open sea are, for the time being, the prevailing procedures accepted by shipowners. However, such methods do not guarantee full efficacy in elimination of allochthonous organisms.
