Policy recommendations related to regulations, monitoring and enforcement. Deliverable D5.5
report
The SCIPPER project has studied and field tested methods for onboard and remote sensing of emissions from
shipping with a number of methods as well as the impact of ship emissions on air quality using combinations of ship
emissions modeling and air quality modeling. Possible future developments of shipping emissions were studied with
respect to the consequences for air quality and atmospheric deposition. This considered new technologies and
included different options for new regulations as well different degrees of compliance to existing and to new rules.
This deliverable lists suggestions on improved policies in the area based on this work. The following policy
recommendations are made:
Recommendations on regulations:
Establish a load cycle for nitrogen oxides (NOX) that better reflects operation during port visits and near coast. The
present load cycle used when certifying the NOX emissions does not reflect real world operation as shown through
the results in SCIPPER. This will result in higher emissions of NOX than was anticipated when the Tier II and Tier III
limits were established. SCIPPER recommends that a new test cycle is developed, either as a transient cycle or similar
to the present one but with more emphasis on low-load points. The details should be carefully analyzed in a separate
study where also the resulting impact on air quality is assessed for different options
