A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING QUALITY OF BALLAST WATER OF A VESSEL

摘要

The present invention relates to a system for monitoring the water quality of ballast water. The system includes a central data hub comprising a data hub computer configured to generate a set of acceptance criteria for ballast water quality parameters at one or more geographic locations based on ballast water data uploaded from at least two ship's onboard computers. The uploaded ballast water data is the value of each ballast water quality parameter measured for at least two vessels, where each ballast water tank is loaded with a predetermined amount of ballast water, and if possible, for time and for each predetermined amount of ballast water. Indicates. The system for monitoring the water quality of the ballast water further includes at least two ships, such as a ship, each ship comprising an onboard ballast water system, the system comprising a monitor, data recorder, multiple ballasts corresponding to geographic location And an on-board computer with a data store for storing a set of acceptance criteria for water quality parameters. The onboard ballast water system is configured to measure at least one ballast water quality parameter of ballast water piping or ballast water in the ballast water tank and detection means configured to record a geographic location where a predetermined amount of ballast water is loaded in the ballast water tank in a data recorder. It further includes a plurality of ballast water quality sensors each configured. The onboard ballast water system is configured to record the ballast water data including the value of each ballast water quality parameter to a data recorder, and the onboard computer downloads a series of approval criteria from the central data hub and the ballast water data to the central data hub. And further configured to upload the corresponding geographic location. The on-board computer is configured to perform a comparison of the values of the ballast water quality parameter and a corresponding approval criterion corresponding to the geographic location and display information according to the comparison on a monitor.
