Organisms, including Vibrio cholerae, can be transferred between harbors in the ballast water of ships. Zones in the Caribbean region where distance from shore and water depth meet International Maritime Organization guidelines for ballast water exchange are extremely limited. Use of ballast water treatment systems could mitigate the risk for organism transfer.
船舶压载水中的生物体(包括霍乱弧菌)可在港口之间转移。加勒比地区符合国际海事组织压载水交换指南的离海岸距离和水深区域极其有限。使用压载水处理系统可以降低生物转移的风险。
