The vessel apparatus processes exhaust gases and effluent seawater on a ship. Structurally, the vessel apparatus includes a vertically oriented vessel. Further, a scrubber is positioned within the vessel to remove pollutants from the exhaust gases with seawater. Also, an effluent seawater processing component is positioned in the vessel above the scrubber. Between the processing component and the scrubber is a liquid barrier that prevents effluent seawater from entering the top of the scrubber while allowing exhaust gases to pass from the scrubber to the top of the vessel. For operation of the apparatus, effluent seawater resulting from the scrubbing process is recirculated from below the scrubber to a location in the vessel above the processing component. As a result, the effluent seawater may be processed above the scrubber.
