The notion of convergence here is defined as the meeting of different, separate ocean currents.
The Southern Ocean, which is generally marked by 60 degrees S, is fed by the other oceans at that latitude. Because the characteristics of its water -- colder and more dense -- is different from the characteristics of the water of the other oceans, where they meet is considered a convergence.
