Total studied as 4.949 t y-1 NOX, 280.498 CO2, 2.059 SO2, 197 VOC, 260 PM 2018 based on ship activity-based method. General cargo tanker responsible 92% total ship-borne region, chemicals, bulk carrier, passenger/ro-ro cargo, other such tugs, barge, multi-purpose ships, yachts, warships follow it. Emissions produced mainly emitted at cruising mode (84%), followed by hotelling (15%). environmental cost port each pollutant 61,5 million 6.164 per call. 2,5% international constitute 6-7% PM, 14% 6-14% 11-20% NOX emissions. should be declared an emission control area/sulphur area to reduce This first study estimate Sea.
