Invasive aquatic species discharged through ballast water is one of the most
serious problems posed nowadays in the marine environment. The purpose of the
present thesis is to summarize the main impacts on marine ecosystems, to review the
relevant regulatory framework, to understand the operation of the ballast water
treatment methods and finally to present economic data of some of the most commercial
treatment technologies.
Precisely, in the first and second chapter historical data referring to the
introduction of the invasive alien species as well as regulated measures taken by the
IMO and by USCG to minimize the species shift are outlined.
A review of the ballast water treatment methods is presented in the third chapter.
In particular, a detailed analysis of the systems available on date and those awaiting
approval as well as a thorough description of their advantages and disadvantages have
been carried out.
At the last chapter of the thesis, a brief assessment of the potential compliance
costs with the Convention is carried out. Additionally, a comparative study of some of
the aforementioned most commercial treatment technologies, for specific ship types,
will follow. In particular, the review will include several costs such as operational cost,
purchase and installation as well as additional costs that may occur depending the
treatment method used.
