Abstract

The implementation of the Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) is a critical response to international regulations aimed at preventing the spread of invasive marine species. This study analyzes the effectiveness of BWTS on tanker ships and its impact on operational efficiency, particularly in terms of energy consumption, operation time, and maintenance costs. By evaluating data from a tanker vessel equipped with BWTS, this research quantifies the additional energy usage, changes in operational duration, and the increase in maintenance expenses due to the system’s complexity. Results show that while BWTS ensures compliance
with the IMO D-2 standard, it also introduces higher energy demands and more frequent maintenance requirements. Despite these challenges, the system offers long-term
environmental benefits and operational legitimacy in global waters. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation to aid ship operators in understanding the trade-offs between
regulatory compliance and operational performance.

Penerapan Sistem Pengolahan Air Ballast (BWTS) merupakan respons penting terhadap regulasi internasional yang bertujuan mencegah penyebaran spesies laut invasif. Studi ini menganalisis efektivitas BWTS pada kapal tanker dan dampaknya terhadap efisiensi operasional, khususnya dalam hal konsumsi energi, waktu operasi, dan biaya perawatan. Dengan mengevaluasi data dari kapal tanker yang dilengkapi BWTS, penelitian ini mengkuantifikasi penggunaan energi tambahan, perubahan durasi operasional, dan peningkatan biaya perawatan akibat kompleksitas sistem. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun BWTS memastikan kepatuhan terhadap standar IMO D-2, sistem ini juga menimbulkan tuntutan energi yang lebih tinggi dan persyaratan perawatan yang lebih sering. Terlepas dari tantangan-tantangan ini, sistem ini menawarkan manfaat lingkungan jangka panjang dan legitimasi operasional di perairan global. Studi ini memberikan evaluasi komprehensif untuk membantu operator kapal memahami trade-off antara kepatuhan regulasi dan kinerja operasional.
