A simplified side-profile illustration depicts a large ocean-going tanker releasing ballast water laterally through a hull discharge opening near the bow. The structural hierarchy implied is ballast tanks housed within the steel hull, which in turn constitutes a major component of the vessel. Within naval architecture, marine engineering, and marine environmental science, ballast water (BW) is used to regulate draft, trim, and stability during cargo operations. The site of discharge is the port-side shell plating at the waterline, shown as a jet of water entering the surrounding sea.
