REGIONAL TRAINING WORKSHOP ON COMPLIANCE, MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE

BALLAST WATER MANAGEMENT CONVENTION

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, 14-15 NOVEMBER 2011 1 INTRODUCTION This was a regional training workshop on the Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement of the Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention held in Kingston, Jamaica from 14-15 November, 2011 for representatives from the Wider Caribbean Region, listed in Annex 2. The training workshop aimed to assist IMO Member States in preparing for the implementation of the 2004 BWM Convention. 2 OBJECTIVE The Training Workshop provided practical knowledge on approaches to Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement related to the implementation of the Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention. In particular, Port and Flag State Control procedures required under the Convention were emphasized, as well as the links between the BWM Convention and other related Conventions. Enforcing ballast water management requirements involves flag and port State control authorities inspecting national and foreign ships, reviewing ballast water certificates and record books, boarding selected ships to review documents and inspect/test equipment and, when necessary, to use sanctioning powers to detain or impose monetary penalties on vessels for failure to meet their legal obligations. 3 VENUE, DATES, ROLES AND PARTICIPANTS

4 COST

Funds for this activity were provided through the IMO Technical Cooperation Fund (WBS TC/0218-61-2000 and TC/0201-64-2000), and GloBallast Partnerships Project Funds (XB/0102-02-18-01-2270), as well as the Caribbean Environment Programme of UNEP. The regional activity was funded by the ITCP, the GloBallast Partnerships Project and the CAP-UNEP, and was implemented by RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe in cooperation with the GloBallast Partnerships Projects Coordination Unit. Several states recognized the importance of this workshop and funded their own participants. 5 BREAKDOWN OF EXPENDITURE Filed with IMO and GloBallast PCU under separate correspondence. 6 ACTIVITIES AND PROCEEDINGS The detailed daily program was as follows: DAY 1 – 14 NOVEMBER 2011

It should be noted that, as for all GloBallast training courses, the lecturers form part of a team and actively engage in all discussions throughout the delivery, not only in the Modules they have been assigned as lead lecturer. This encourages a lively dialogue, and makes it easier for all participants to take part in the discussions. 7 ACHIEVEMENT AND CONCLUSIONS During the Training Workshop, the participants reviewed and discussed jointly issues of common interest. The working language of the workshop was English with simultaneous Spanish interpretation. The training was the CME training package developed by the GloBallast Partnerships Project in conjunction with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the World Maritime University (WMU), with support from IMO ITCP, the Total Foundation, and the MPA of Singapore. The training package consists of a trainee’s manual (5 Modules), PowerPoint presentations, exercises, and an instructor’s manual. Since the training package was finalized as in September, only an English version of the course materials was available. The Lead Consultant for the training was Dr. Raphael Baumler, (WMU), who also was very valuable in the development of the training package. He was supported by a consultant from the region, CDR Henry Tomlinson (Jamaica). During the workshop, notes were taken to make final tweaks to improve the course. Throughout the workshop there was active engagement by the all participants, many of whom have years of experience as flag State or Port State Control Officers. It was clearly a professional exchange of information rather than a one sided lecture which benefitted all. Several discussions ensued on the fundamentals of Port State Control such as defining “undue delay”, actions when discrepancies in documentation are discovered and at what point should the vessel be detained. Also several questions were raised regarding ballast water sample techniques and protocols, however not much detail could be provided due to the ongoing discussions at IMO. All of these discussions contributed to the value of the workshop.

8 FOLLOW-UP ACTION All participants received a good understanding of the requirements for Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement under the BWM Convention, in particular its links to other relevant IMO conventions. However, as the Port State Control Guidelines for the Convention are not yet finalized, there are aspects of Flag and Port State Control that could not be addressed in detail in the training course. Some additional/supplementary training may therefore be required once the PSC guidelines for the Convention are adopted and the Convention enters into force. As this was the most recent of a series of regional training programs delivered in the region (previously; an introductory to the Convention and the GloBallast Partnerships program, training on the legal implementation of the Convention, and a training on Port Biological Baseline Surveys), it is expected that States within the region will now be in a better position to ratify the BWM Convention by their Governments and implement the Convention into their national legislation. *****
