LOGO DESIGN PROCESS
BALLASTECH have designed a filtration system which purifies the ballast water on ships before discharge.
When larger vessels such as a container ship or oil tanker unload cargo, sea-water is pumped into compartments in the hull. Similarly, when a larger vessel is being loaded it discharges sea-water from these compartments. The sea water is meant to help stabilize and balance a ship.
Discharges from these ships have been responsible for transporting harmful organisms in their ballast water. One of the worst cases of a single invasive species causing harm to an ecosystem can be attributed to a species of comb jellyfish that inhabits estuaries of the United States along the Atlantic coast. It has caused notable damage in the Black Sea.
