Ballast Water Case Study

ON-SHORE BALLAST WATER TREATMENT FACILITY

1.Alternative Methods for Managing Ballast Water

Harm to the ecosystem by using alternative methods of ballast water treatment prevented or can be reduce. It may seem as the only way to reduce the risk of ballast water treatment, although in theory, the development of ballast water exchange standard ballast water treatment methods, intake port to the facility including the removal of the criteria can be evaluated with the method.

A few strategies have been developed, often including one or many of the following complementary methods. First of all, the entry into the ballast tank to ballast water minimize retrieving of organisms. For example ballast water must be avoided when exist the turbulance in

Process of disposal of harmful marine organisms and pathogens in ballast water from a reception facility must be environmentally and unhealty for people and marine lives. Ballast water will be discharged to the aquatic environment should be provided in ballast water performance standard specified in Regulation D-2 of the Convention. (Guidelines for ballast water reception facilities. (2012)).

1.1.2. Capabilities of On-Shore Ballast Water Treatment Facility

A treatment facility has details of capabilities and capacity limitations; intend to use this plant should be made available to the marine vessels.

The treatment plants that can be used to ship’s capacity limits and capabilities are highlighted in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) guideline. The details made available to ship’s capabilities and capacity limitations is:

• Maximum volumetric capacity of ballast water;

• Handled the maximum volume of ballast water in any time;

• Maximum transfer rates of ballast water (cubik meters per hour)

• Operation in an hour;

• Access to the facility is available such as ports, berths and areas;

• Pipeline connection details of ship to shore (pipeline size and reducers
