Potable Water Quality on Non-Passenger Ships Calling Belgian Ports
Waterborne disease due to the microbial contamination of potable water onboard ships is a potential threat for seafarers. The results from the samples collected at Belgian ports from 2010 to 2018 during inspections of non-passenger ships are used to evaluate the microbiological and chemical quality of potable water.
