Emission Inventory of Ships calling Port of Bršica (Raša Bay)

Shipping is a very significant source of air pollution, greatly contributing to the creation of greenhouse gases and influencing the climate change. Ships are responsible for roughly 3% of global CO2 and GHG emissions, emitting approximately 1 billion tonnes of CO2 and GHGs per year. Shipping emissions cause severe impacts on health and the environment. The article describes the methodology for estimating the atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in international shipping in the Bay of Raša as a sensitive area and the respective results. The shipping emissions have been calculated on actual shipping activities for ships calling at the Port of Bršica in 2017. The aim of the research was to provide a better insight in the emission inventories in this area. Ship's emissions were calculated by the ship activity-based method which involves the application of emission factors for each ship-activity (slow steaming on arrival and departure, manoeuvring on arrival and departure, and for a berthed ship).
