Abstract

This research evaluated the emission characteristics of old ships during typical operations, under varying cruising speeds, and during lock transit, using a shaft power meter and PEMS. The research revealed that upstream and downstream low-load voyages accounted for 67.9 % and 65.4 % of the total voyage, respectively. The average emission factors of CO, NOX and CO2 were highest under lock transit with 17.13±0.51 g/kWh, 16.2±0.62 g/kWh and 1075.37±5.72 g/kWh, respectively, while SO2 was highest under manoeuvring with 0.46 ± 0.001 g/kWh. Emissions are closely correlated with engine speed, with the largest emissions at cruising, and emissions at departure and docking significantly concentrated in the 10–15 % and 5–10 % loads. This research emphasizes the importance of considering low-load operating conditions in engine test cycles and provides data support for maritime decarbonization and emission reduction strategies. Future research should continue to explore the emission characteristics of old ships.
