Abstract

Ocean going ships contribute significantly to the global anthropogenic emissions. They produce about 9.2 times more NOx emissions and 1200 times more particulate matter than aviation (Eyring et al., 2005a). With the increasing international trade and lack of stringent emission standards as compared with other diesel engines, the contribution of criteria pollutants from these sources are growing relative to others.

The principal sources of emissions aboard a ship are the main propulsion and auxiliary engines. The main engines are 2-stroke low speed diesel engines. Auxiliary engines on the other hand are 4-stroke marine diesel engines, usually medium speed and occasionally high speed, with a power output in the range of 30-3000kW (Cooper et al., 2003). The main propulsion engines are used at sea and the auxiliary engines operate at the ports for transit, maneuvering, hotelling and cargo refrigeration. Hence, emissions from auxiliary engines have a significant effect on regional air quality in populated areas.
