Estimation of Air Pollution from Ships in Port Area: A Case Study of Yeosu and Gwangyang Ports in Korea

With the rapid development of global trade and maritime transportation, a comprehensive emission inventory is necessary to control air pollution from ships as well comply with international environmental standards. The purpose this study calculate volume emissions in Yeosu Gwangyang ports Korea based on bottom-up approach supported by data automatic identification system (AIS) Korean port management information (Port-MIS). Specifically, real set specifications all operating at 2019 was collected an analysis ship movement using AIS conducted authors divide route into cruising maneuvering phases estimate engine’s load factor. Finally, results show that total amount area 558 thousand tons, which 96% CO2 66% hoteling mode. Additionally, container tanker together emitted highest accounting for share 73%.
