“…Currently, SO 2 emissions from the port sector are a global concern because emission levels have caused a deterioration in materials, monuments, and human health. Ships are the primary source of port emissions of SO x and NO x , accounting for 71% and 58% of the totals, respectively, emphasizing the importance of reducing ship emissions [78][79][80]. It has been reported that two main fuel types are used in port sectors.…”

In this work, we identify the current atmospheric sulfur dioxide emissions of the Veracruz port, an important Mexican seaport experiencing rapid growth, and its influence on the surrounding areas. Sulfur dioxide emissions based on port activity, as well as meteorology and air quality simulations, are used to assess the impact. It was found that using marine fuel with low sulfur content reduces emissions by 88%. Atmospheric emission estimates based on the bottom-up methodology range from 3 to 7 Mg/year and can negatively impact air quality up to 3 km downwind. After evaluating different characteristics of vessels in CALPUFF, it was found that maximum sulfur dioxide concentrations ranging between 50 and 88 µg/m3 for a 24-h average occurred 500 m from the port. During 2019, five days had unsatisfactory air quality. The combination of a shallow planetary boundary layer, low wind speed, and large atmospheric emissions significantly degraded local air quality.

“…In 2020, 38.404 ships passed through the Strait of İstanbul, 8,435 of which were tankers and the rate of maritime pilot employed was 65% (UAB, 2021). Nearly 150 ships pass through the Strait of İstanbul every day, of which 27-28 ships carry dangerous goods (Bucak, 2021).…”

The Turkish Straits which comprise the Strait of İstanbul, the Strait of Çanakkale and the Sea of Marmara connect the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas and the Black Sea. The Straits are one of the most hazardous and crowded waterways in the world. The Straits are important from the point of international politics and commerce. The aim of the study is to analyse the accidents that occurred in the Strait of İstanbul from the implementation of the Maritime Traffic Regulations for the Turkish Straits and the Marmara Region in 1994 until 2019 using frequency distribution, Chi Square) and Cramer's V Tests. The main findings of the study have given as follows; the cargo ships were the most involved in the accident; accidents are mostly collision and respectively grounding; the most accident has been occurred in the hours 20:00-24:00, main reason of accidents is human error and a total of 71.5% of the ships involved in the accident have not taken a pilot in the Strait of İstanbul. There is a statistically significant relationship between accident type and accident year; between accident type and the ship types involved in the accident and between accident type and whether the ship involved in the accident had a pilot; relationship between ship type involved in the accident and whether to take a pilot or not. At the conclusion of the study suggestions are proposed to provide safety of environment and navigation in the Strait of İstanbul.
