Sažetak
Having identified all the dominant factors and having put together a mosaic of all factors resulting from ship's voyage, as well as a number of differently dimensioned criteria, the harmfulness evaluation method for water ballast management on board has been elaborated. By careful analysis of the impact factors to which status elements are adjoined, by the assignment of harmfulness levels to the status elements, by determining difficulty factors values, by introduction of treatment methods i.e. exchange of water ballast, certain characteristic management scenarious according to ship type are developed. Cumulative scenarious provide insight into the total harmfulness of water ballast management. The introduction of comprehensive approach results in the development of different scenarios applicable to all ships. The estabilished harmfulness evaluation method for water ballast management is applicable to all ship types, and it has been tested on various types of ships that were discharging ballast in various ports worldwide.
