“…From 01.09.2017 to 01.09.2018 within the period of 1 year, Ambarlı, İzmir, Mersin, and Kocaeli ports were monitored. NO x , SO 2 , CO 2 , VOC, PM, and CO emissions were calculated for maneuver, cruise and port modes with the bottom-up method, using emission and load factors published by ENTEC in 2010, 9 actual ship technical data, length of stay in the ports.…”

“…Emission and load factors were used in the calculation of these equations for the container ship type from the study of ENTEC 9 in 2010 and it is assumed that two auxiliary engines are active in cruising and maneuvering modes, one auxiliary engine is active in port operation mode and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is used for main engines, and Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) is used for auxiliary engines.…”

Studies on the global climate change and the measures to be taken to alleviate the problem have long emphasized the critical importance of this issue for humanity’s future. The impact of exhaust gas emissions from maritime transport on air quality and global climate change is also examined by scientists. In particular, the restrictions imposed by the law-makers like International Maritime Organization (IMO) and European Union (EU) on maritime shipping to improve air quality requires flag states, ships, ship owners and seamen to reduce ship emissions. In this study, Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Particulate Matter (PM) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions of ships coming to Turkey’s four important ports (Ambarlı, Izmir, Mersin and Kocaeli ports) are theoretically calculated with two bottom-up methods. Port durations and ship technical data are the real data obtained by following the ships coming to all ports for 1-year period. Based on the emission calculations for all ports, container vessels, which are the most common vessel types, were selected and emission estimation models were obtained for cruising, maneuvering and port operating modes depending on the type and gross tonnage (GRT) of these vessels. The emission estimation models obtained from the study can be used to estimate approximate exhaust gas emissions from container ships with known GRT values and to model ship-based air pollution. When the average error margins are analyzed, it was estimated with 2.03% error in cruising mode, 1.63% in maneuvering mode and 9.44% in port mode for container ships according to the GRT in the ports of Turkey.

The maritime transportation sector poses a significant environmental risk due to its reliance on fossil fuels and its proximity to coastal areas. To address this issue, the International Maritime Organization, authorized by the IPCC, is responsible for reducing and preventing ship-borne emissions. The International Maritime Organization regularly updates emission prevention measures through annual MEPC meetings, particularly under the MARPOL 73/78 Convention, to adapt to changing conditions. In this study, we utilized a bottom-up approach to calculate the emissions of NOX, SO2, CO, and PM10 emitted by ships transiting through the Istanbul Bosphorus from 2014 to 2021. We employed the AERMOD air quality dispersion model to generate SO2 spatial distribution maps, focusing on the year 2014 with the highest pollutant release. The obtained results were compared with measurements from air quality monitoring stations, allowing us to evaluate the contribution of maritime SO2 emissions to overall Bosphorus pollution. Furthermore, we also examined the impact of low sulfur fuel usage after the sulphur was reduced from 3.5 to 0.5% by mass, in accordance with the regulations put into effect by IMO in 2020.
