Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ballast balance, in particular to a ship ballast water balance structure. Background Art
[0002] The ballast water balance of a ship is to balance the weight of the hull and maintain the stability of the ship by filling or draining water into the ballast water tanks in the hull when the ship is loading or unloading cargo. Traditional ship ballast water is mostly pumped directly into the interconnected U-shaped ballast water tanks by ballast pumps. It is impossible to flexibly adjust the ballast water in each part of the ballast water tank. When the ship encounters an inclination during navigation, the ballast water in each part cannot be flexibly adjusted, resulting in poor balance, affecting the normal navigation of the ship. Secondly, due to the lack of treatment of seawater, when the ballast water is subsequently discharged, the marine alien organisms living in the ballast water are likely to cause biological invasion to other sea areas, thereby affecting the biological balance of other sea areas.
