“…Continuous work on improvement of ballast water treatment processes as a consequence of eliminating undesirable aquatic organisms and pathogens have resulted in the creation of various BWT systems (Rahman 2017, David & Gollasch 2018, Gerhard et al 2019, Kuroshi et al 2019.

“…According to the surveys, the commonly used ballast water treatment processes are mechanical, biological, physical and chemical, most often used in combination. In addition to those mentioned in the survey, other systems are used worldwide, such as UV lamps, filtration, ballast water heating, deoxidation and ozonisation (Rahman 2017, David & Gollasch 2018, Wan et al 2018, Gerhard et al 2019, Kuroshi et al 2019.…”

“…According to the principles of the Convention, as of the 7 th of September 2017, all shipowners who have ships designed or constructed to carry ballast water, are obliged to comply with it. Under the BWM regulations, ships are required to carry out an inspection on the basis of which they can receive an International Ballast Water Management Certificate and to have an approved Ballast Water Management Plan (BWMP) and a Ballast Water Record Book (BWRB) (International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, Rahman 2017, Kuroshi et al 2019.…”

“…The BWM Convention also forced ship masters to remove ballast water at a distance of at least 370 km from the coast, to clean the ballast tanks more frequently and introduce various ballast water treatment systems. The water treatment systems recommended by IMO that meet the Convention's D-2 norm are based, among other things, on the use of UV radiation, filtration, water heating, biodegradation, and chemical disinfection, often working in combination with one another (BWM Convention, Kuroshi et al 2019).…”

The purpose of this study was to assess progress in the implementation of rules for the control and handling of ballast water and sediments, regulated by the International Convention on the Control and Handling of Ship Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention). The survey was conducted in 2018-2019 among seafarers responsible for handling ballast tanks. Analysis of the survey data revealed that despite the introduction of water treatments, ballast water continues to be a vector for the transfer of non-native organisms. This is due to the low effectiveness of the methods used, and the fact that 8% of the respondents answered that no BWT systems were used on the ships they manage. Despite this, some seafarers (4.7%) indicated that increasing environmental awareness and adherence to BWM principles should result in improved protection of aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, the global problem concerning the transport of non-native organisms via ballast water has still not been solved effectively. In the near future, improved BWT systems should be introduced, which after proper training of the crew will act as a barrier to the transfer of non-native organisms in ballast water.

“…However, occupational incidents and accidents still occur in the shipyard during docking repair, which indicates that safety management processes during docking repair need to be further improved [7]. In addition, with the influence of some important regulations and codes adopted by International Maritime Organization (IMO), such as the revised MARPOL Annex VI [8] and the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM) [9], a large number of operating ships have to be refitted during docking repair to satisfy the new regulations. It can be reasonably predicted that the ship repair industry will continue to run with relatively high demand.…”

Human-Related Hazardous Events Assessment for Suffocation on Ships by Integrating Bayesian Network and Complex Network

et al. 2022

To investigate the human-related factors associated with suffocation on ships during docking repair, a comprehensive analysis model composed of a Bayesian network (BN) and a complex network (CN) is proposed in the present study. The principle of event tree analysis (ETA) is firstly applied to identify the hazardous events involved in the accident according to the accident report, based on which the CN would then be developed with the logic relationships among the hazardous events. The improved K-shell decomposition algorithm is utilized to determine the criticality of nodes in the CN, the results of which are then used to develop the BN model within the framework of a human factor analysis classification system (HFACS). Then, the developed BN model can be simulated with the probability distribution of all the nodes within the BN, which are obtained on the basis of node criticality. Finally, the results of the BN simulation are interpreted from the perspectives of a brief analysis, backward analysis and sensitivity analysis. The results are verified with existing studies and the accident investigation report issued by authority, which are presented as evidence to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology to evaluate the human-related risk involved in the suffocation on ships. The methodology proposed in this study integrates the advantages of BN and CN to investigate the human-related hazardous events involved in maritime accidents, which can be seen as the main innovation of this work.
