Abstract:This paper presents the results of SNAME Small Craft Panel SC-3 Fishing Systems investigation of trends in US fishing vessel (Fig. 1) (L> 22.9 m) powering and NOx emissions (1900–2000). The study estimates the 1, 299 vessels in the US fishing fleet produce 306 tons/day of NOx. The largest powers are found in the decades of 1960–1980. The actual power kW is compared to a reference power kWo using the Powering Index Ratio PIR = kW/kWo. It was found that 50 to 80% of the power in seiners, trawlers, and cra… Show more
