A study about the Investigation of Sea Phenomenon on the Ocean where the Ballast Water Excharge of Ships is carried out

Abstract

This report is using the observation data based on an artificial satellite, and aims at considering formulization of the procedure in the case of conducting investigation of maritime conditions of the ocean space in which the ship carries out ballast water exchange. Taking the route of between Japan and Australia or the North America west coast for the example, we investigated maritime conditions using the long-term billow statistics data which the marine research satellite GEOSAT collected. When we perform various examination in the initial design of ship supposing the ocean space where ballast water exchange of ships is carried out, if the formulized procedure applies to the data of GEOSAT, we could conclude that a setup of maritime conditions could be performed efficiently and simply.
