diseases on board ships
improperly managed water is an established route for infectious disease transmission on ships. This was illustrated in a review of more than 100 outbreaks associated with ships undertaken by rooney et al. (2004). One fifth was attributed to a waterborne route.
Who “guide to ship sanitation” (third edition)
“a ship operator’s role is to provide safe water to passengers and crew, fit for all intended purposes. Water on board should be kept clean and free from pathogenic organisms and harmful chemicals. Responsibilities are to monitor the water system, particularly for microbial and chemical indicators, to report adverse results under the ihr 2005, where required, and to take corrective action”.
