International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed a legislation called ‘International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water and Sediments’ to regulate 
the discharge of ballast water and reduce the risk of introducing non-native species from ships 
ballast water. To reduce this risk, there are various treatment methods available in the market. 
These treatment systems must be approved by the administration in accordance with IMO 
guidelines. The main objective and scope of this work is to review and compare IMO and USCG 
requirements in terms of type approval, inspection and certification requirements, to describe 
and compare different treatment methods and to discuss about selection of appropriate 
technology based on various factors such as safety, environment, practicability, cost and 
biological effectiveness in terms of effective removal or inactivation of harmful aquatic 
organisms and pathogens in ballast water. In this thesis work, some of the alternate and 
innovative ballast water management systems have been discussed as well. In addition to that, 
a case study about retrofitting ship has been conducted. This work has been developed in 
association with Westcon Design Poland, to serve as a reference covering various aspects of 
ballast water management and it can provide different perspective to all stakeholders such as 
classification societies particularly to Overseas Marine Certification Services (OMCS Class), 
ship owners, design offices, shipyards, treatment system manufacturers and others who are 
involved in the implementation of the convention. Based on data collected from various sources 
associated with this subject, comparison and analysis at different stages of this work, 
conclusions and recommendations have been obtained to serve the purpose for which this work 
has been carried out.

"In early 2014, the Department of Defense (DoD) Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) asked the RAND National Defense Research Institute (NDRI) to conduct an independent assessment of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination in the military -- an assessment last conducted in 2012 by the department itself with the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Personnel (WGRA). Separately, the Coast Guard requested that we expand the 2014 study to include an assessment of its active and reserve force. This report provides initial top-line active-duty Coast Guard estimates from the resulting RAND Military Workplace Study, which invited close to 560,000 service members to participate in a survey fielded in August and September of 2014. The RMWS takes an approach to counting individuals in the military who experienced sexual assault, sexual harassment, or gender discrimination that measures the incidence of specific crimes and violations. Our measurement of sexual assault aligns closely with the definitions and criteria in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for Article 120 crimes. The survey measures of sexual harassment and gender discrimination, which together we refer to as sex-based military equal opportunity (MEO) violations, use criteria drawn from DoD Directive 1350.2. Compared with past surveys that were designed to measure a climate of sexual misconduct associated with illegal behavior, the approach used in the RMWS offers greater precision in estimating the number of crimes and MEO violations that have occurred."--Publisher's website.
