Abstract

An innovative concept is suggested for ship ballast water management
using continuous flow-trough method in ships double bottom. The idea
was to create a ship who will not carry ballast water containing invasive
marine organisms from one destination to another but who will navigate
through it keeping the necessary hydrostatic characteristics using always
local ambient water. Authors have suggested the solution which can obtain
satisfactory results based on tree-dimensional CFD simulations.
