Comment on Ballast Free Ship

Wang Hong, Li Huabin

In order to ensure the balance and stability of the ship without cargo, the ship needs to be loaded with ballast water to achieve the purpose of reducing the center of gravity of the ship. However, the discharge of seawater from ballast tanks will cause marine ecological pollution. In order to completely solve the problem of non-native aquatic species brought by ballast water, in recent years, researchers have proposed the concept of non-ballasted tanks with innovative ideas. This paper introduces the research situation of this technology and hopes to contribute to the research and design development of non-ballasted water tanks.
