This water may be unsafe for drinking, but on board
we're drinking seawater all the time. Not straight from the ocean, however.
Instead, the ship treats seawater through two processes: reverse-osmosis
or flash-evaporation, which uses heat from the engine to evaporate the
water and separate the salt and other minerals from a now-distilled water.
After this, it's clean for drinking or washing.
