As suspected the world merchant fleet is polluting 100 times more than the aviation industry
As suspected the world merchant fleet is polluting 100 times more than the aviation industry
For the first time ever - scientists have been able to provide an exact picture of the air pollution originating from the merchant vessels worldwide. Researchers from the German Aero Space Center have mapped the pollution pattern and it shows the big differences between aviation and marine transport. In 2007 the merchant fleet on the world oceans released approx. 870 million tons Co2 into the atmosphere which was the same level as the aviation industry that year. But the shipping industry alone polluted more than ten (10) times more for NOx and hundred (100) times more for SOx when compared to the aviation industry. Scientists have been able to gain the results via an environmental satellite and thereby prove the pollution at all the larger ship trading routes. There is a massive pollution from the SOx. Rumour has it that United Nations International Maritime Organization based on this report will initiate new restrictions for the amount of SOx emission permitted…

Scandic Diesel Services representing WR Systems for EMSYS - Emsys™ Continuous Emissions Monitoring System is able to provide actual values - and not calculated values.
About Emsys
The Emsys™ Continuous Emissions Monitoring System is a laser-optic, sensor-driven single enclosure device that continuously monitors emissions and provides automated analysis and data recordings from multiple smokestacks and boilers in marine applications. W R Systems, Ltd. (WRSystems), developed the new technology to help the maritime industry comply with MARPOL Annex VI Maritime Emissions Regulations. Emsys™ allows operators of marine-fueled engines to continuously monitor, analyze, and record emissions from all engine exhaust stacks simultaneously. It analyzes and records nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM), and other gases such as CO, as specified. In addition, Global Positioning System (GPS) interface data and electronic charting tracks actual vessel position to aid in voyage compliance management
within Emission Control Area (ECA) zones.

Above figures have been listed in one to one, which is beyond comparison as one would normally compare on volumes transported. Example a backpack and a truck is not comparable neither based on fuel or volume. CO2 emission from a Boing 747-400 compared with a panama dry cargo vessel is more than 180 times higher from the Boing calculated in gram per ton kilometer.
