The water held in the ballast tanks of ships is called ballast water. It can be freshwater or saltwater. Why is it required in the first place? The water offers stability to the ships, especially when the vessels are cargo-less or the cargo is not too heavy. The water is pumped into the tank. When the ship enters the next port, the water is released to fit in cargo. Ballast water also contributes to maneuvering the ship, especially on rough waters. When passing under overhead bridges and other structures, water in the ballast tank helps the ship sink low enough for easy movement. History of ballast water discharge regulations The year was 1988. Australia and Canada were the first two counties that questioned  highly toxic ballast water treatment . They were the first to question the relevance of non-native species invading the water a...
