should include instructions on the application of ballast water and
sediment management and treatment procedures, based upon the information

on the maintenance of appropriate records and logs. Governments should
ensure that their marine training organisations include this in the
contents of their syllabus.

concerning ballast water management are currently at the core of the
solution to minimize the introduction of harmful aquatic organisms
and pathogens.
6.3 Governments are encouraged to include knowledge
of duties regarding the control of pollution of the sea by harmful
aquatic organisms and pathogens in their training requirements for
