Ballast water treatment helps stop spread of viruses
MANAMA, 27 days ago Over 80% of the world’s commodities are being moved by shipping and it is estimated that approximately 7 billion tons of ballast water is transferred from one region to another globally each year. Ballast water is normally sea water of variable quantity and location used to keep the ships trim, draught, stability and structural loading within safe limits as the distribution of cargo and other liquids takes place during normal ship operations. At any one-time ballast water can naturally contain an estimated 7,000 different species of organisms comprising plankton (microscopic plants and animals), bacteria and viruses.
