A water ballast tank anti-sediment structure comprises stiffeners arranged at the bottom of a water ballast tank at intervals. Multiple mud-disturbing devices used for repeatedly disturbing and breaking sedimented sediments and impurities are arranged at intervals above the stiffeners in the water ballast tank. The water ballast tank anti-sediment structure is simple in structure, low in cost, small in usage space, and can not change a ship structure or increase the weight of the ship structure, therefore the water ballast tank anti-sediment structure can be applied to any ship type, and the application range is wide. Due to the fact that the water ballast tank anti-sediment structure can directly resolve the problem that a large number of the sedimented sediments and impurities are continuously deposited on and adhesive to the water ballast tank which uses seawater as ballast water, the load capacity consumed by sludge in ship operation is reduced, and the use-cost of a ship is reduced greatly. Additionally, when the ship enters a dock for maintenance, through cleaning the water ballast tank by the anti-sediment structure, the workload of workers in cleaning the water ballast tank is reduced greatly, the ship maintenance work efficiency is improved, and the labor cost is lowered.
