The Association between Vessel Departures and Air Pollution in Helsinki Port Area 2016–2021

Atmosphere, 2023
European ports are struggling to install enough shore power connections to follow the European Commission initiative, which insists ships that lie alongside to be plugged in and have their auxiliary engines off in EU ports by 2030.

Inverse modeling of black carbon emissions over China using ensemble data assimilation [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016
Emissions inventories of black carbon (BC), which are traditionally constructed using a bottom-up approach based on activity data and emissions factors, are considered to contain a large level of uncertainty.

The local ship speed reduction effect on black carbon emissions measured at a remote marine station [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Speed restrictions for ships have been introduced locally to reduce the waves and turbulence causing erosion, and safety hazards, and to mitigate the air and underwater noise emissions. Ship speed restrictions could be used to minimize the climate impact
