Abstract:The Ballast Water Convention, which entered into force on September 8, 2017, stipulates the discharge standards for ballast water of ships. At present, ships need to meet the discharge requirements of the Convention by installing ballast water treatment equipment. However, the instability of the performance of ballast water treatment equipment and the rigorous supervision and inspection of port States control have become the biggest obstacle to the effective implementation of the Convention at the present stage. This article attempts to proceed from the actual operation of the shipping industry in conjunction with the Guidelines for Contingency Measures of the Ballast Water Convention. The requirements of the Guidelines for Contingency Measuresof the Ballast Water Convention, discuss the feasibility of using ballast water port reception treatment facilities as a supplement to enhance the ability of ships to implement the Convention, and through the analysis of the necessity and feasibility of the technology of ballast water port reception treatment facilities, the new technology and traditional ballast water treatment technologies are compared in detail, and their advantages and application prospects are objectively explored and analyzed. It can be foreseen that as a new type of ship ballast water treatment technology and port emergency technology, the ballast water port reception treatment facilities are more green, economical, and highly efficient. While providing new options for ships, they are also further protection of the marine ecological environment provides strong guarantees and reflects the efficient and unified social, economic, and ecological benefits.
