Ballast water management and their system processing

Fundamental and applied researches in practice of leading scientific schools, 2019
Ballast water provides stability and maneuverability to a ship. Large ships can carry millions of gallons of ballast water. Ballast water discharged by ships can have a negative impact on the marine environment. There are thousands of marine species that may be carried in ships’ ballast water; In order to reduce the risk of new introductions of exotic ...

Potential effects of abiotic factors on the abundance and distribution of the plankton in the Western Harbour, south-eastern Mediterranean Sea, Egypt

Oceanologia, 2015
Samples were collected seasonally from Western Harbour during winter 2012–winter 2013 to examine spatial and temporal variability in phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance in relation to physicochemical parameters. Water was alkaline and well oxygenated.

Development of a protocol for sampling and analysis of ballast water in Jamaica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
The transfer of ballast by the international shipping industry has negatively impacted the environment. To design such a protocol for the area, the ballast water tanks of seven bulk cargo vessels entering a Jamaican port were sampled between January 28 ...

Implementation of Ballast Water Management Plan in Ships Through Ballast Water Exchange System

Procedia Engineering, 2017
Abstract In this paper, sequential method has applied for ballast water exchange of ships. Moreover, a model has been developed in Maxsurf to carry out the sequential method. The sequential method is a process by which a ballast tank intended for the carriage of ballast water is first emptied and then refilled with replacement ballast water to ...

Ship Ballast Water Management in Turkish Ports and Waterways

Marine Technology Society Journal, 2011
AbstractThe introduction of invasive marine species into a new environment by ballast water attached to ship hulls has been identified as one of the four greatest threats to the world’s oceans. The other three are land-based sources of marine pollution, overexploitation of living marine resources, and physical alteration/destruction of marine habitat.

Technical considerations for sampling ballast water to determine compliance with discharge performance standards

Frontiers in Marine Science
In order to discharge ballast in waters of the USA and Member States of the IMO, a vessel must comply with ballast water discharge standards (BWDS). In most cases, this involves use of a Type-Approved ballast water management system (BWMS).
