The present invention relates to a device for treating ballast water using an electrolysis method so as to prevent ship explosions, and to a method for controlling the prevention of ship explosions using same. The device for treating ballast water using an electrolysis method is installed in a ship, wherein the apparatus comprises: a partition wall for separating an explosion danger zone in which a ballast tank is installed, and a safety zone in which the apparatus for treating ballast water is installed; a chlorine-injection tube linearly passing through said partition wall so as to connect the apparatus for treating ballast water to the ballast tank; and a compressor installed in said chlorine-injection tube so as to maintain a positive pressure in said chlorine-injection tube by transferring water into said chlorine-injection tube, even when an operation using the chlorine-injection tube is stopped.
