Canadian Ballast Water Risk Assessment

Canada first concerned about invasive aquatic species in 1980s due to invasions in the Great Lakes

Guidelines were developed and implemented in consultation with USA

With the adoption of IMO Ballast Water Convention, Canadian Guidelines will be replaced by Regulations

Risk assessment and risk management will be elements of the Canadian system

Risk assessments done for East Coast, West Coast, Domestic Great Lakes, and St Lawrence River / Gulf / Seaway trade

Still to do Arctic



In order to implement the risk assessment elements of the regulations, Canada is developing a risk assessment system.



The Canadian approach to risk assessment is being based on and compatible with IMO ballast water draft risk assessment guidelines and risk assessment procedures established by the GEF / UNDP / IMO GloBallast Programme.


The GloBallast Risk Assessment Process


Components used to calculate the relative risk:

Percentage of all 'available' risk species

in each Source PortCoefficient of risk species threat (C4)

Similarity between the Similarity between the receiving port & each receiving port & each

Source PortSource Port

Environmental matching coefficient (C3)Environmental matching coefficient (C3)

(measure of relative similarity vs other source ports)(measure of relative similarity vs other source ports)

Amount discharged from each Source

Port

Percentage of total BW vol. discharged (C2) + a risk reduction factor for small tanks (R1)+ a risk reduction factor for small tanks (R1)

Risk reduction factor for long storage times (R2)BW storage times

(voyage duration, etc)

Percentage of all BW tank discharges (C1)Frequency of ships

discharging BW from each Source Port


Allows regulator to go from 1000’s of BW reporting forms …

Risk Assessment will guide Risk Management

Once risk levels are established, inspectors will determine management approaches based on factors including:

– Availability of any treatment options;

– Safety

– Etc

Risk management requires tools, training, and data.


Proposed Risk Assessment Program

Clean up Software - One Stop Program to be handed back to IMO

Outreach via IMO for species data verification

Marry Risk with Data Base

One Step Process fro Ports/ Inspctors

Proactive data Program for valid form input from Ships

IMO Form

USCG Form


Shore Side Treatments

Politically driven

Examined previous studies – lowballed

Examined current available facility – Belldune

Economics

Alternatives

Biocide injection

GRAS – used in Meat Industry / Hospitals / Hotels

Hypochlorus

Further studies


Selected Biocides

Examine in ‘Canadian ‘ context

Cold Water

Fresh Water

Deoxyegenation

Periclean Ocean

Toxicity issues examined


NOBOB sampling

In context of joint USCG/ TC boardings

Currently sampling for salinity

DFO looking for biological effects

What does dry tank mean – risk wise

What is reduced propagule pressure

Monitoring for specific ‘expected ‘ species
