F. Cost-Effectiveness
(i.e., the proposed treatment system will not bear significant net costs
relative to other types of ballast treatment, considering effects on ballasting time, crew time
demands, capital costs, operating costs, or structural decay)
Please indicate the state of knowledge associated with the extent to which operation will:
1. Significantly slow ballasting rate (please check one);
Unknown Unknown but reason to believe not significantly
Certain not significantly
2. Add significantly to crew time demands (please check one);
Unknown Unknown but reason to believe not significantly
Certain not significantly
3. Require significantly higher capital cost for purchase, operation (including consideration
of any structural impacts on ships) and/or installation than other ballast systems (please
check one);
Unknown Unknown but reason to believe not significantly
Certain not significantly
Please attach (and clearly Identify as “Supporting Information for Question F1, 2, or 3, as
appropriate”) all findings/supporting information.
