Ship ballast water is a major vector for the transportation of invasive aquatic organisms throughout the world ocean, and the global shipping industry has come under increasing pressure by the United Nations (UN) International Marine Organization (IMO) to develop ballast water remediation methods. A proposed remediation method is the disinfection of ballast water with ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and this is currently an area of intense interest for commercial leaders in the field. However, much of the existing knowledge on the use of UV for water disinfection arises from research performed on fresh water systems, yet the majority of the worlds commercial shipping fleet operates in the marine environment. This initiative proposes to establish a collaboration between Dalhousie University research laboratories and Trojan Technologies an international commercial leader in water treatment technology in order to develop a database of water quality information that in turn will support development of marine ballast water remediation methodologies.

船舶压载水是入侵水生生物在全球海洋中运输的主要载体，联合国(UN)国际海事组织(IMO)要求全球航运业开发压载水修复方法，这对全球航运业构成了越来越大的压力。一种拟议的补救方法是用紫外线(UV)对压载水进行消毒，这是该领域的商业领袖目前非常感兴趣的一个领域。然而，现有的许多关于使用紫外线进行水消毒的知识来自于对淡水系统进行的研究，然而世界上大多数商业船队在海洋环境中运作。这一倡议提议在达尔豪西大学研究实验室和特洛伊技术公司之间建立合作，特洛伊技术公司是水处理技术的国际商业领先者，以开发一个水质信息数据库，从而支持海洋压载水补救方法的发展。
