✴️What is the purpose of ballast system on ships❓

?Ballast water is pumped in to maintain safe operating conditions throughout a voyage. This practice reduces stress on the hull, provides transverse stability, improves propulsion and manoeuvrability, and compensates for weight changes in various cargo load levels and due to fuel and water consumption.

✴️What is ballast water management requirements❓
?What are the ballast water management standards? There are two ballast water management standards (D-1 and D-2).
