Every
day more than 7000 different marine species are transferred to different
ecosystems via ballast water. The introduction of invasive species can cause
problems to native species. After realizing these serious problems caused by
the organisms carried in ballast water, national and international regulations
were developed. In 2004, the IMO introduced the "International Convention
for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments". With
these regulations, the problems caused by ballast water have attracted
attention and many companies have started to research and develop ballast water
management technologies. Today, there are hundreds of different systems for
ballast water treatment and the selection of the most suitable system for a
specific vessel is an increasingly
important issue as the Convention nears enforcement on 8 September
2017. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that Key Performance Indicator
(KPI) application for Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) System selection is a very
useful tool enabling shipyards to compare BWT systems to make better choices
and to designate the most adequate system for their ships. In this study two
types of vessels from a shipyard in Istanbul-Turkey with different ballast
water capacities and equipment are examined and the most suitable systems are
selected by using the KPI method.
