System and method for the collection and disposal of ballast water, bilge water and waste water

A method for adding ballast water to trim a vessel, the method comprising,

• connecting a mobile reservoir containing ballast water in fluid connection with at least one ballast reservoir of the vessel;
• transferring water from the mobile reservoir to the at least one ballast reservoir;
• and,
• disconnecting the mobile reservoir from the at least one ballast reservoir;
• whereby the transfer of water from the mobile reservoir to the at least one ballast reservoir trims the vessel.

A system for handling vessel ballast water, the system comprising,

• one or more mobile reservoirs for transferring treated ballast water to a vessel;
• and,
• one or more ballast water transfer connections for fluid connection to the one or more mobile reservoirs to transfer treated ballast water to the one or more mobile reservoirs;
• whereby the one or more mobile reservoirs may be positioned to transfer treated ballast water to the vessel.

A method for handling ballast water used to trim vessels, the method comprising:

• connecting a mobile reservoir in fluid connection with at least one ballast reservoir of a vessel;
• transferring ballast water from the at least one ballast reservoir to the mobile water removal reservoir;
• disconnecting the mobile reservoir from the at least one ballast reservoir;
• repositioning the mobile reservoir to a water transfer connection for connection;
• testing the ballast water for contaminants;
• connecting the mobile reservoir in fluid communication to a water transfer connection for transferral to a treatment station;
• transferring the ballast water to the treatment station;
• and,
• treating the ballast water at the treatment station for contaminants identified by the testing to produce treated water.
