traditionally
has
been
to
have
the

Mitigation
Measures
for
reducing
Exotic
Species
Migration
through
Ballast
water
The
rig
does
not
carry
much
ballast
water
from
location
to
location.
It
is
taken
on
and
dumped
at
the
same
location.
Mitigation
Measures
for
reducing
Impingement
and
Entrainment
of
Aquatic
Organisms,
as
well
as
Bio­
fouling
Prevention
Measures
Sea
chest
screens,
duplex
and
simplex
baskets,
cathodic
protection,
chlorine
injection
system
in
sea
chest
to
prevent
growth
in
piping.
Is
the
Rig
equipped
with
a
Radiator
Cooling
System
for

Main
Engines?
No
