from ballast water in my literature review from the other journal is invasive species
spread in ballast tank and lack from monitor by Malaysia government. This research
to identify the factor of ballast water influence the selected of ballast water treatment
(BWTS) and also to determine the best solution ballast water treatment for Malaysia
port. This research using qualitative and quantitative to find the factor from literature
review for the PESTEL analysis then create the questionnaire past into the respondent
expert with this research then analysis using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to find
the best option from expert answering my questionnaire. Through this paper the
