Ballast Water Risk Assessment Port of Saldanha Bay Republic of South Africa
The introduction of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens to new environments via ships’ ballast
water (BW) and other vectors has been identified as one of the four greatest threats to the world’s

countries through the GEF/UNDP/IMO Global Ballast Water Management Programme (GloBallast).
