Conceptual Design for a New Commercial Vessel

当船舶卸货时，压载物需要保持稳定性和操纵性，而现在的现代选择是水——在货物卸货和装货时分别吸收和排放水。压载水负责水生微生物和潜在致病菌在海洋中的转移——入侵物种的引入已成为全球海洋面临的四大威胁之一，造成生态系统破坏、河岸侵蚀和海洋设备损坏等问题。目前的压载水管理系统存在局限性——Concept Marine有限公司设计了一艘不需要压载水的商业船只。

Ballast is required to maintain stability and manoeuvrability when ships are un-laden, with water now the modern choice - taken up and discharged when cargo is unloaded and loaded, respectively. Ballast water is responsible for the transfer of aquatic microorganisms and potentially pathogenic bacteria across oceans - Introduction of invasive species has become one of the four greatest threats to oceans globally, causing problems such as ecosystem damage, river bank erosion, and marine equipment damage. Current ballast water management systems have limitations - Concept Marine Ltd have designed a commercial vessel that does not require any ballast.
