Istanbul Technical University Department of Shipbuilding and Ocean Engineering, Offshore Engineering Program master’s student Mevlüt Yılmaz attracted the attention of the scientific community as well as the maritime industry and BWMS Technology experts with his master’s thesis titled “Evaluation of UV and Electrochemical Ballast Water Treatment Systems from the Perspective of Expert Seafarers Working on the Ship”, which he completed under the supervision of our faculty member Dr. Ceren Bilgin Güney.

The three-stage study, which views ballast water management systems (BWMS) used to prevent ecological damage that may occur during the release of ballast water into the sea, which ensures the stability and safe navigation of ships used in international transportation, from the perspective of users working on 6 ships with two different treatment technologies, focuses on the opinions and experiences of seafarers.
