Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method for flushing a ballast tank (2) of a ship, in the process of which water present in the ballast tank (2) is replaced by surrounding water, present outside the ship. Water from the ballast tank (2) is drained away on a bottom side of the ship via an overflow pipe (8). Preferably, water flowing in is squirted into the direction of the bottom of the ballast tank (2) with the aid of a system of spray nozzles. <IMAGE>
