Marine Fuel Sulphur Limit Impact on Air Pollution

Abstract

The article presents calculation of Sulphur oxides percentage drop rate in marine industry recorded after 01.01.2020 when new limits, provided by International Maritime Organizations legislation, became effective. Ships’ SOx global emission was estimated and compared between 4th quarter 2019 and 1st quarter 2020. For more accurate estimation 3 seaside cities with big harbors were selected for statistical analysis. Noticeable SOx decrease was observed. In one case the drop was at similar level to theoretical. There were found significant correlations between heavy fuel oil bunker and SOx level in the air.
