A simple method for calculating long term combustion emissions from cargo vessels is presented. The method uses emission factors for the five EPA criteria pollutants based on the amount and type of cargo carried by these vessels. Separate emission factors are derived for the underway and docking operations based on current fuel consumption to transport or load/unload cargo. Fuel consumption is then converted to emission factors in the form of tons of pollutant per million ton miles of cargo transported or tons of pollutant per million tons of cargo loaded/unloaded. The annual emissions of the Port of Houston are estimated as a sample calculation. The report also includes a method of determining the spatial distributions of the emissions and a listing of stack parameters.
