“…is paper supports the idea of the application of VTS data in the bottom-up approach studies as a promising confident alternative suggested by Lee et al [70]. However, the contribution of this paper is that (1) On one face, this paper considers an FC method, which was used to estimate emissions in POI several times before by Chang et al [44], Chang et al [49], and Khan et al [61]. However, all of these three papers did not provide an up-to-date and full-year estimation.…”

“…Later, Chang et al [49] continued to apply the FC method to update NO x , SO x , and PM emissions released from ships at POI during the same period. With the same method, Khan et al [61] collected ship traffic data at POI from the AIS system to figure out ship GHG emissions, however, during only October 2014. Kwon et al [1] developed a system for emission estimation and then considered the amount of CO, NO x , SO x , and PM10 emitted from ships around POI only in December 2017.…”

As a result of the rapid growth of international trade, atmospheric pollution from transportation has been more topical than ever, especially in dense hub port-cities. The shipping industry should pay more attention corresponding to its contribution to local atmospheric pollution. This paper supports the application of data collected from the vessel tracking service system with a bottom-up approach to generate a comprehensive 2019 local ship emission inventory at Port of Incheon. The calculated emission inventory presented the dominance of CO2 emission and the considerable contribution of NOx and SOx emissions, the significant contribution of auxiliary engines during the hotelling at berth during the year of 2019. Then, based on calculated emission inventory, this study suggested and simulated applicable green policies in the practice: (1) local emission control area realization, (2) vessel speed reduction program, (3) application of cold ironing, and (4) establishment of a national integrated emission platform. The combination of the three first policies could help reduce the significant volume of emitted CO (29%), NOx (30%), SOx (93%), PM10 and PM2.5 (64%), VOC (28%), NH3 (30%), and CO2 (30%).

“…Chang et al [51] assessed the potential of the ECA at the POI by focusing on the amount of NO x and SO x emissions. Khan et al [52] applied the AIS to collect ship movement data and then estimated GHG emissions from ships at the POI in October 2014.

“…Moreover, using the national emission inventory with a top-down approach in the regional policy-making process is inappropriate because inaccuracy results could lead to misunderstandings about the outside environment. In addition, although several regional emission inventories were conducted for the Incheon case before [50][51][52]63], not all of them cover the annual amount of emissions or all types of ships operated at the POI. Several studies suggested the use of AIS for better estimation, but these studies did not cover all ships operating at the POI at that time, due to the lack of data in the AIS for ships with gross tonnage (GT) smaller than 300.…”

Estimation of the Non-Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory from Ships in the Port of Incheon

et al. 2020

Nowadays, maritime air pollution is regarded as a severe threat to coastal communities’ health. Therefore, many policies to reduce air pollution have been established worldwide. Moreover, there has been a shift in policy and research attention from greenhouse gases, especially CO2, to other air pollutants. To address the current local environmental challenges, this research analyzes the non-greenhouse gas emissions inventory (CO, NOx, SOx, PM, VOC, and NH3) from ships in the second biggest port in Korea, the Port of Incheon (POI). A bottom-up activity-based methodology with real-time vessel activity data produced by the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) is applied to obtain reliable estimations. NOx and SOx dominated the amount of emission emitted from ships. Tankers, general cargo ships, cruise ships, and container ships were identified as the highest sources of pollution. Based on the above results, this study discusses the need for long-term policies, such as the designation of a local emission control area (ECA) and the establishment of an emission management platform to reduce ship-source emissions. Furthermore, this study elucidates that significant emissions come from the docking process, ranging from 33.9% to 42.0% depending on the type of pollutant when only the auxiliary engines were being operated. Therefore, short-term solutions like applying exhausted gas cleaning systems, using on-shore power supplies, reducing docking time, or using greener alternative fuels (e.g., liquefied natural gas or biofuels) should be applied and motivated at the POI. These timely results could be useful for air quality management decision-making processes for local port operators and public agencies.

A Study on the Framework for Estimating Ship Air Pollutant Emissions—Focusing on Ports of South Korea

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

With the globalization of trade and the rapid development of the world economy, the problem of air pollution emissions produced by shipping is becoming more serious. The exhaust gas emitted by ships has become a significant source of air pollution in ocean and coastal areas. In recent years, governments have paid more attention to shipping emissions as a major source of environmental problems. Establishing ship emission inventories plays an important role in formulating ship emission control measures and regulations. This study aimed to propose a framework for calculating ship air pollutant emissions by comprehensively considering processes and methods officially used in developed countries such as the US and those in the EU, as well as South Korean circumstances and available data sets. The framework was divided into three sections: defining the inventory, data collection and analysis of the data, and ship air pollutant emission estimation. The results of this study provided a standard for South Korean domestic port emission inventories. A case study focused on the Gwangyang and Yeosu Ports, one of the leading port areas in South Korea, using adaptive data collection and emission-calculation processes. This study can be used as guidelines when the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) or the Ministry of Environment (MOE) adopts a standard process in South Korea in the near future. Subsequently, it is necessary to establish a national port emission management system to respond to world environmental changes.
