To develop the GloBallast Programme they chose six main developing regions of the world: Dallan (China), Khark Is (Iran), Mumbai (India), Odessa (Ukraine), Saldanha (South Africa), Sepetiba (Brazil) The main objective of all said centres is to develop and implement within the national and regional levels various issues related to harmful aquatic organisms in ship’s ballast water. The detailed work on the project is presented in the national plans prepared by the agencies approved by IMO, GEF and UNDP. Such Regional Plan has been drawn up for the Black Sea Region. The main aim of the course in Odessa Center is to provide a framework for the activities that need to be developed and implemented within the Black Sea Region in order to minimize the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms in ships’ ballast water, in accordance with the IMO recommendations and GloBallast Programme. The course is aimed to facilitate the preparatory process within the Black Sea Region for the introduction of new international regulations and practices on ballast water management and control. Each of the member countries presented the data on ballast water management and control and delivered the updated plans on avoidance of further pollution under the available researches. As the result, the resolution is to be issued summarizing the activity and finishing the Nations Action Plans to proceed within the Regional Action Plans.
