A generic ballast water discharge assessment model as a decision supporting tool in ballast water management
Abstract: One of the critical issues in species invasion ecology is the need to understand and evaluate the dimensions andprocesses of aquatic organisms transfer with vessels ballast water. The assessment of the quantity of ballastwater discharged as the medium of transfer is one of the basic elements of the decision making process in ballastwater risk assessment and management. The possibility to assess this in advance of the vessel's arrival to a portenhances themanagement process and gives port authorities a decision supporting tool to respond in timewithadequate measures. A new generic ballast water discharge assessment model has been prepared. The model isbased on vessel cargo operation and vessel dimensions. The model was tested on real shipping traffic and ballastwater discharge data for the Port of Koper, Slovenia. The results show high confidence in predicting whether avessel will discharge ballast water, as well in assessing the quantity of ballast water (to be) discharged.
