Highlights Top 5 Greek cruise ports are studied for year 2013. Through an activity-based methodology in-port cruise ships emissions are calculated. The estimated emissions are analyzed in terms of gas species, seasonality, and activity. The total in-port inventory of cruise shipping is calculated. The anticipated health impacts of ship emissions reach to €24.3million.

    Abstract Detailed NOx, SO2 and PM2.5 emissions have been estimated for cruise ships in the five busiest Greek ports (i.e. Piraeus, Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu and Katakolo) for year 2013. The emissions were analyzed in terms of gas species, seasonality and activity. The total in-port inventory of cruise shipping accounted to 2742.7tons: with NOx being dominant (1887.5tons), followed by SO2 and PM2.5 (760.9 and 94.3tons respectively). Emissions during hotelling corresponded to 88.5% of total and have significantly outweighed those produced during ships’ maneuvering activities (11.5% of total). Seasonality was found to play a major role, as summer emissions and associated impacts were significantly augmented. The anticipated health impacts of ship emissions can reach to €24.3million or to €5.3 per passenger proving the necessity of control of the emissions produced by cruise ships in port cities or policy and measures towards a more efficient cruise industry.
