Abstract

ONE OF THE MAJOR WAYS OF INVASIVE SPECIES TRANSMISSION, OTHER THAN AQUACULTURE PURPOSES, IS INTENTIONAL AND UNINTENTIONAL TRANSPORT OF THESE UNWANTED SPECIES BY SHIPS, VESSELS, YACHTS AND FISHING BOATS. HENCE, THOSE IN CHARGE SHOULD APPROPRIATELY MANAGE SHIPS BALLAST WATER BY SUPERVISING AND APPLYING REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS TO PREVENT AND REDUCE THE DANGER OF INVASIVE SPECIES TRANSMISSION. FOR CONFRONTING THE POLLUTION CAUSED BY INVASION OF NON-NATIVE AQUATIC SPECIES, THREE METHODS CAN BE APPLIED: 1- BALLAST WATER DISCHARGE AND PROCESSING IN PORTS, 2- BALLAST WATER PROCESSING ON THE VESSEL, 3- BALLAST WATER EXCHANGE ON THE ROUTE. IN PORTS, VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES ARE USED FOR BALLAST WATER REFINEMENT , INCLUDING : 1- FILTERING, 2- CREATION OF VERTICAL AND ROTATIONAL SYSTEM, 3- THERMAL METHOD, 4- USING CHEMICALS AND DISINFECTANTS, 5-UV RADIATION, 6- USING ULTRASOUND WAVES, 7- WATER ELECTROLYSIS, AND 8- CASTING ACCELERATED ELECTRON. THE ABOVE MENTIONED METHODS ARE PROVEN METHODS WHICH HAVE BEEN APPLIED BY MARINE INDUSTRIES FOR DECREASING THE RISK OF SHIPS WATER BALLAST. IN THE PRESENT RESEARCH, USING THE FUZZY TOPSIS MODEL, A HOLISTIC COMPARISON IS MADE BETWEEN VARIOUS BALLAST WATER REFINEMENT METHODS IN VESSELS ENTERING PORTS AND THE MOST PRACTICAL AND APPROPRIATE METHOD IS PROPOSED. THE ABOVE MENTIONED METHODS ARE EVALUATED BASED ON VARIOUS CRITERIA AND WITH A HOLISTIC VIEW ON COST AND EFFICIENCY. IT IS REVEALED THAT THE FILTERING METHOD IS MORE PRACTICAL AND PRINCIPLED THAN OTHER METHODS CONSIDERING COSTS AND EFFICIENCY. AFTER THAT THE UV AND ULTRASOUND WAVE METHODS ARE CONSIDERED AS PRACTICAL METHODS FOR BALLAST WATER REFINEMENT.
