Analyzing the Shipping Emissions in Port of Ereğli and Examining the Contribution of SOX Emissions Reduction to the Port Emissions

Abstract

As of January 1, 2020, the sulfur content in the fuel will be reduced from 3.5% to 0.50% within the scope of the measures implemented by IMO, and ships will use fuel with this rate of sulfur. With this practice, the harmful effects of SOX and PM emissions from ships on the environment and people will be reduced. The shipping emissions in the port of Ereğli were evaluated based on ship activity-based methods and total emissions generated from ships were 505 t y-1 for SOX, 70 t y-1 for PM, 1.281 t y-1 for NOX, 67.639 t y-1 for CO2, 49 t y-1 for VOC for the year of 2019. General cargo and bulk carrier vessels are the main polluters in the port and they are responsible for 95% of all shipping emissions. Shipping emissions are generally produced at cruising mode (83%), followed by hoteling mode (16%). The environmental cost of the shipping emissions for each pollutant has been predicted as $41,5 million and $58.734 per ship call. In this study, it has been observed that with the implementation of SOX reduction since 2020, PM and SOX emissions will decrease properly and fall to tolerable levels for human and environmental health in the port of Ereğli.
