<p>The present invention relates to a ballast system (10) for a marine structure. The ballast system (10) comprises a ballast tank (12) which is in fluid communication with a tank arrangement (100) for temporarily holding bilge fluid and/or ballast fluid in a marine structure. The tank arrangement (100) comprises a storage space (101) defined by at least one tank wall (102), at least one fluid inlet (110) for introducing the bilge fluid and/or ballast fluid in the storage space (101 ), and at least one fluid outlet (145) permitting removal of at least parts of the bilge fluid and/or ballast fluid from the storage space (101). The at least one fluid outlet (145) is at least partly formed by a caisson (140, 170) adapted for receiving a submersible pump (130) at a submersible pump position (131) in the storage space (101).</p> |
