Extracting 53 treatment systems data; system types, costs, power requirements and footprints from manufacturers and global markets to input under the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method for analysis. The rankings of AHP criteria are made by ship owners themselves concerning the market data analysis for comparison. However, this is accurate to a certain extent due to some of the data obtained were overdue which are not updated. In all, the idea of the analysis is not to see which the best water ballast treatment system is. It is instead a guide to the owners on selecting a suitable treatment system for their vessels. Furthermore, buyers can obtain data conveniently and have a better view of the market through these analyses.
