Control, Ballast water, Safety, Marine environmentAbstract
The pumping of the ballast water is important for the management of the maritime safety; however, it impacts the coastal ecosystem and poses a serious threat to the marine environment. The ship's ballast water contains many exotic species, including bacteria, microorganisms and pathogens. It poses a danger to the health of human life and causes the spread of different species in different areas where the ships traveled to with a greater impact on the regional and global levels as well. This issue has been evoked by the International Maritime Organization and therefore regulations have been issued before developing into a legal instrument called International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004. The Convention has enabled the parties to control the pumping of ballast water and use pre-treatment technology before being released into the sea in order not to harm the ecology and marine environment.
