Drastically improved information on emissions from shipping
Shipping emits considerable amounts of different air pollutants, which have an impact on the climate, human health and the environment. Still, the knowledge on emissions from this sector is very poor. The project “Dynamic Emission Database for Shipping” is a joint effort to improve the situation. Using AIS (GPS-positions for individual ships) and ship properties from the databases of the Swedish Maritime Administration, the aim is to create an Airviro application for calculation of ship emissions bottom-up with very high resolution.

There are geographically distributed emissions for 25 substances grouped into approximately 40 source categories and with a resolution of 1*1 km.
