Air Pollution & Marine Shipping

#sustainableshipping #airpollution #gettingtozero

While essential to the world’s economy and well-being, the commercial marine shipping industry is a major contributor to global air pollution and without action, the industry’s emissions are expected to increase.

These emissions can harm human health and our environment.

New regulations and practical initiatives are planned or in force to reduce the amount of air pollution produced by ships.

This site’s purpose is to share objective information about the impacts of air pollution from the marine shipping industry – including the types of air pollution ships emit, how these emissions are harmful, and what’s being done to reduce them – and to encourage informed conversations about these issues.

This site was created by Clear Seas, a Canadian not-for-profit organization that provides independent fact-based information to enable governments, industry, and the public to make informed decisions on marine shipping issues.

Marine Shipping’s Impact on World Air Pollution

Ships move more than 80% of the world’s goods. When compared to other forms of transportation, marine shipping is the most energy-efficient way to move large volumes of cargo.

Like all other forms of transportation that burn hydrocarbon fuels for energy, ships create air pollution that degrades air quality, adversely affects human health and contributes to the wide-reaching effects of climate change.

Health Impacts from Air Pollution from All Sources

Poor air quality is linked to health issues such as asthma, respiratory and cardiovascular disease, and premature death. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution is the greatest environmental health risk to people as it triggers a range of health problems. In 2022, approximately 6.5 million deaths worldwide resulted from ambient air pollution. In Canada, approximately 15,300 premature deaths each year can be linked to air pollution.

As of 2016, worldwide ambient air pollution accounts for:

  • 16% of lung disease deaths
  • 43% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths
  • 17% of heart disease and stroke deaths
  • 26% of respiratory infection deaths

Energy Efficiency of Transportation Modes

Distance 1 tonne of cargo can travel on 1 litre of fuel in Canada’s Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway.

49 km
By truck
226 km
By train
394 km
By ship

Transferring cargo from trucks or trains onto ships and barges where possible, called short-sea shipping, can reduce overall transportation emissions.

While responsible for the release of less greenhouse gas (GHG) per tonne-kilometre of cargo transported than other forms of transportation, ships contributed approximately 3% of the world’s total GHG emissions in 2018.

In coming years, global shipping traffic is expected to grow in response to increased trade. Unless additional measures to limit emissions from ships are adopted and implemented, GHG emissions from shipping could increase by as much as 90% to 130% of 2008 emissions by 2050, depending on economic conditions.

Type of Air Pollution from Marine Shipping

Commercial ships burn fuel for energy and emit several types of air pollution as by-products. Ship-source pollutants most closely linked to climate change and public health impacts greenhouse gases (GHG), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter.

On a global scale, the marine shipping industry’s share of total emissions from human sources is:

GHG
2.9%
per year
NOx
19%
per year
SOx
9%
per year

For context, Canada’s annual contribution from all sources to global CO2 emissions is 1.5%.

Climate Change

  • In force since November 2016, the Paris Agreement aims to strengthen the global response to climate change by limiting global temperature increases this century to 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels. To achieve this, global GHG emissions must be reduced by 45% below 2010 levels by 2030 and reach net zero by or around 2050.
  • Emission regulations for the shipping industry are dictated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) independent of the Paris Agreement. If all other sources of GHG are limited according to the Paris Agreement but shipping CO2 emissions are not, the industry could contribute up to 17% of the world’s total air emissions by 2050.
  • With current policies in place, the average global temperature is projected to rise by at least 2.7℃ by 2100 and the temperature in Canada is projected to rise by 6.3℃ due to Arctic amplification, with devastating effects on people and the environment, particularly in the Arctic.

Pollution Types from Marine Shipping

GHG
NOx
SOx
Particulate Matter
Greenhouse Gas (GHG)

Primary GHG emissions include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which contribute to climate change and ocean acidification.

  • GHG contributes to widespread climate change by trapping the sun’s heat. In Canada, these climate changes include increased average and extreme temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, thawing permafrost, and increases in hazardous weather.
  • Climate change-induced extreme weather events such as heat waves, floods and major storms have a negative impact on human health and cause premature deaths worldwide.
  • When CO2 is absorbed by seawater, the water becomes more acidic. This increase in acidity has adverse effects on marine life and ecosystems.
Back to ship
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)

A collection of gases of various combinations of nitrogen and oxygen that:

  • Cause lung inflammation when breathed, increasing susceptibility to harm from allergens in people with asthma. NOx may enter the bloodstream and with long-term exposure lead to eventual heart and lung failures.
  • Interact with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to create ground-level ozone, which contributes to eye, nose and throat irritations; shortness of breath; worsening of respiratory conditions; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; asthma and allergies; cardiovascular disease and premature death.
  • Cause acidification of soil and water (acid rain).
  • Decrease crop and vegetation productivity due to ground-level ozone, threatening food security.
  • Flood ecosystems with excess nitrogen nutrients, leading to toxic algal blooms in coastal waters and inland lakes.
Back to ship
Sulphur Oxides (SOx)

A collection of gases of various combinations of sulphur and oxygen that:

  • Cause lung inflammation when breathed, increasing susceptibility to allergens in people with asthma. SOx and may enter the bloodstream and with long-term exposure lead to eventual heart and lung failures.
  • Cause eye irritation, increased susceptibility to respiratory tract infections, and increased hospital admissions for cardiac disease.
  • Cause acidification of soil and water (acid rain).
Back to ship
Particulate Matter

A collection of solid and liquid particles formed during fuel combustion that:

  • Can be inhaled into people’s lungs and then absorbed into the bloodstream, which has been linked to many negative heart and lung health outcomes, including cancers.
  • Are a component of smog.
  • Form “black carbon”, the second largest contributor to climate change after CO2. While airborne, black carbon absorbs solar energy and contributes to atmospheric warming, before falling to earth as precipitation that darkens snow and ice surfaces. High concentrations of black carbon on ice and snow significantly reduce solar energy reflected back into space – the albedo effect – and accelerate melting.

Impacts of Marine Shipping Air Pollution in Canada

Canadians feel the economic impacts from all sources of air pollution, including lost productivity; increased healthcare costs; decreased quality of life; stunted crops, plants, and trees (as shown above); and discoloured and damaged outdoor structures and materials – all of which costs Canadians and the Canadian economy billions of dollars per year.

The health and environmental impacts of air pollution from marine shipping are also felt in Canada, where marine shipping produced 4.2 million tonnes of GHG emissions in 2020 or about 0.6% of total Canadian GHG emissions.

Impact of Air Pollutants from Marine Shipping in Canada

Click on each pollutant in the legend to reveal its impact on the map

Ocean Acidification (CO2)
Ground-level Ozone (NOx)
Acid Rain (SOx)
Smog (Particulate Matter)
Black Carbon (Particulate Matter)

CO2

In Canadian coastal waters, acidification damages the shells of clams and mussels, affecting the productivity of a $1.3 billion aquaculture industry, and weakens coral structures, affecting their function as important habitat for other species.

 

NOx

In Canada, ground-level ozone is of particular concern in:

  • The Southern Atlantic region (NS and NB)
  • The Windsor-Quebec City corridor (ON and QC)
  • The Lower Fraser Valley (BC)

NOx also harm marine and aquatic life by contributing an over-abundance of nutrients to coastal waters and inland lakes that causes toxic algal blooms and decreases water oxygen levels.

SOx

The harm caused by SOx is widespread as pollutants can travel hundreds of kilometres inland; the provinces located on the Precambrian Shield – Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia – are most affected by acid rain.

Smog (Particulate Matter)

Particulate matter, along with ground-level ozone, is a key component of smog on Canadian coastlines. Ports where commercial marine shipping activities occur in the Atlantic Provinces, Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia and the Arctic are particularly affected, but air pollution from ships can travel hundreds of kilometres inland, impacting more than 60% of Canada’s population.

Black Carbon (Particulate Matter)

While airborne, black carbon absorbs solar energy and contributes to atmospheric warming, before falling to earth as precipitation that darkens snow and ice surfaces. High concentrations of black carbon on ice and snow significantly reduce solar energy reflected back into space – the albedo effect – and accelerate melting.

Arctic Impacts

Air pollution from marine shipping both within and outside the Arctic impacts climate change and the health of people and ecosystems in the Arctic, and the number of ships transiting the Arctic, although currently low, is projected to increase.

The most common type of fuel used in the Arctic is marine fuel oil, a non-persistent fuel. However, 10% of ships operating in the Canadian Arctic use heavy fuel oil (HFO) and their consumption of HFO increased by 82% between 2016 and 2019. HFO is also used for land-based activities throughout the Arctic. The combustion of HFO creates particulate matter (including black carbon) that is known to increase the rate of Arctic sea-ice melt.

In April 2018, the IMO committed to reduce the risks associated with HFO. Canada and the Marshall Islands submitted a proposal to assess economic and other impacts on Arctic communities as a result of a ban on HFO use and carriage in the Arctic because Canadian Arctic communities rely on shipping to bring in essential goods including fuel, and rely on HFO as a source of energy on land.

Approved in 2022, the ban on the use and carriage for use by ships of HFO in the Arctic begins in July 2024, although allowed exemptions and waivers mean that a full ban on HFO for ships in the Arctic will not be enforced until 2029.

In the Antarctic, the use and carriage of HFO has been banned since 2011.

Reducing Air Pollution from Marine Shipping

In Canada, air pollution from ships is regulated by the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 and the complementary “Vessel Pollution and Dangerous Chemicals Regulations,” which incorporate standards established by the IMO.

The IMO regulates pollution from ships through the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL).

Learn more about air pollution in MARPOL Annex VI

Air Pollution in MARPOL Annex VI

The regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships (Annex VI) seek to control airborne emissions from ships (SOx, NOx, ozone depleting substances, and VOCs) and their contribution to local and global air pollution, human health issues and environmental problems.

  • The 2008 revisions to Annex VI introduced progressive reductions for global emissions of SOx, NOx and particulate matter and also specific emission control areas (ECAs) in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and coastal North America. The revisions are expected to have a beneficial impact on human health and the atmospheric environment, particularly in coastal areas.
  • New amendments to Annex VI in 2022 require improvements in operational efficiency through the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and reporting on an annual operational carbon intensity indicator (CII). This CII rating indicates the amount of GHG emissions produced to transport cargo for the distance travelled.

In April 2018, the IMO adopted an initial strategy to reduce ship-source GHG, intended to reduce total annual emissions by at least 50% (compared to 2008 levels) by 2050. This strategy was revised in July 2023 to commit the shipping industry to reach net-zero emissions by or around 2050. The strategy also identifies checkpoints to track progress along the way.

The IMO has implemented a tiered approach to reducing NOx emissions for new-built ships. The three tiers specify NOx restrictions for ships built after certain dates, with more stringent restrictions for newer ships. Tier III requires up to an 80% reduction in NOx emissions for all ships constructed after January 1, 2016, compared to Tier I.

Regulations have positively impacted air quality in Canada with the majority of air pollutants decreasing significantly since 1990.

Emission Control Areas

In 2012, the IMO introduced emission control areas (ECAs) to minimize NOx, SOx and particulate matter in designated areas by implementing ship emission caps.

Canada’s Atlantic and Pacific coastal waters below the 60th parallel and out to 200 nautical miles are protected in the North American ECA.

By 2020, as a result of these standards, emissions from ships in the entire North American ECA were reduced by:

NOx
36%
SOx
78%
Particulate Matter
15%

North American Emission Control Area

ECAs are established by the IMO to limit emissions from ships in coastal areas. In North America’s ECA, ships must burn fuel or scrub exhaust to emit a maximum of 0.1% sulphur content since January 2015.

Canadian ships in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway are also required to comply with ECA standards.

An unintended consequence of limiting sulphur content in fuel has been changes in ship routing and speed to reduce fuel costs – low sulphur fuel is both more expensive and has a higher carbon emission factor than heavy fuel oil – which has increased GHG emissions as ships travel further overall to minimize time spent in ECAs.

North American Emission Control Area

  • Canada and the United States first agreed to pursue a North American ECA in 2006.
  • In 2010, the IMO approved the joint application for the North American ECA and it came into force internationally in August 2012.
  • As of 2015, ships operating in an ECA were required to use fuel with less than 0.1% sulphur. Outside of ECAs, ships are permitted to use fuels with sulphur content up to 0.5% as mandated by the global cap on sulphur in fuel, which came into effect in January 2020. Based on satellite tracking of ship emission clouds, sulphur emissions from ships dropped by more than 50% starting in 2020.

The estimated health benefits to Canadians by 2020 from reduced air pollution from ships operating in the North American ECA include:

75%
reduction in asthma symptom days
66%
reduction in hospital admissions
55%
reduction in mortalities
49%
reduction in child acute bronchitis episodes

In Canada, the North American ECA is expected to result in:

$1B
(billion) per year in net health benefits
96%
reduction of SOx and associated particulate matter emissions as of January 2015
80%
reduction of NOx emissions from newly built ships as of January 2016

Practical Measures

To reduce air pollution from marine shipping, vessel operators and port facilities are implementing practical measures including alternative energy sources, modifications to ship components and operational efficiencies.

Energy Sources

Shore Power

Shore power is the process of providing electrical power from the shore to a ship while at a berth to shut off the ship’s auxiliary engines. Shore power reduces SOx, NOx and particulate matter emissions by 88% or more while in port and also reduces GHG emissions.

Back to ship
Low-sulphur Fuels

To reduce SOx emissions ships can switch to a low-sulphur fuel or alternative fuel that has the added benefit of reducing particulate matter emissions. As of January 2020, the IMO reduced the permitted sulphur exhaust limit for all marine fuel from 3.5% to 0.5% outside ECAs.

  • Marine diesel oil (MDO) – A heavy gas oil used primarily for marine purposes, this fuel can be produced with varying sulphur content.
  • Liquefied natural gas (LNG) – Liquefaction removes water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and sulphur compounds from the natural gas for a fuel of mostly methane with some other hydrocarbons and nitrogen. This fuel produces lifecycle GHG emissions comparable to or sometimes higher than conventional marine fuels.,
  • Methanol – Liquid at room temperature, methanol is easier to store and distribute than LNG, but it increases lifecycle GHG emissions by 12-15% compared to conventional marine fuels.
Back to ship
Alternative Energy Sources

Ongoing experiments are testing wind and solar power, batteries, biofuels and hydrogen fuel cells to power ships. These technologies are being applied for coastal transport, but are not yet viable for ocean-going commercial ships.

Back to ship

Ship Modifications

Exhaust Cleaning
  • Exhaust gas cleaning systems or scrubbers mix exhaust with caustic soda or seawater, removing up to 99% of SOx and 98% of particulate matter from high-sulphur fuel. After the global sulphur cap was implemented in 2020, the IMO reported 5.2% of vessels worldwide were approved to use scrubbers as an equivalent method to compliant fuels.
  • Selective catalytic reduction treats exhaust before release to reduce NOx emissions by 95%.
  • Humid air motor adds water vapour to the engine combustion chamber to reduce NOx emissions by 70%.
Back to ship
Engine Modifications
  • Internal engine modifications – adding water, recirculating exhaust gas, cooling water temperatures, or modifying overlap timing or intake valve closing – can reduce NOx emissions by nearly 100%.
  • Gas-fuelled engines can use LNG or methanol as fuel to reduce NOx emissions by up to 90% and SOx and particulate matter by 95% to 100% when compared to HFO.
Back to ship
Efficient Design
  • IMO introduced the Energy Efficiency Design Index in 2011 to provide minimum energy efficiency standards for new ships.
  • The IMO’s Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan has been adopted for all ships to monitor Energy Efficiency Operational Indicators and assist ship operators in evaluating fleet CO2 emissions.
  • Areas of ship design that increase energy efficiency include the shape of the hull, propeller and rudder. Optimizing the hull shape and vessel superstructure is estimated to reduce fuel consumption by 15% for all types of vessels of over 5,000 gross tonnes.
  • Many vessel modifications can be applied to existing ships through retrofits though implementation is limited by the cost and time required.

Operational Efficiencies

Slow Steaming

Speed reduction effectively reduces fuel consumption and therefore air pollutants. A speed reduction of 5% in open-ocean conditions is associated with reported fuel savings of approximately 13% for bulk carriers or tankers and 16%-19% for container ships. However, concerns go beyond increased travel time as ships may be operating outside of intended design parameters, potentially affecting the function of the engines and propellers and consumption of lubrication oil.

Back to ship
Vessel Cleaning and Coating

Live organisms ranging from algae and microbes to sea stars and mussels can attach themselves to ships’ hulls, propellers and other underwater components in a process known as biofouling. This biological layer increases a ship’s resistance in water, increasing the fuel required to go an equivalent distance when compared to a clean ship. Research has estimated, depending on the thickness of the slime, a ship’s fuel consumption increases by 18% to 38%. Regular hull cleanings, either in-water or in dry dock, contribute to operating efficiency. Anti-fouling coatings can discourage build-up and reduce the frequency of hull cleanings.

Back to ship
Trim and Draft Optimization

Cargo distribution can influence the amount of resistance during a voyage. Ship operators can apply software to optimize cargo loading and increase fuel efficiency by 0.5% to 5%, depending on vessel type.

Back to ship
Efficient Navigation

Ship operators can navigate more economically by navigating to avoid sharp load increases on the engine and incorporating tide and current conditions to reduce propulsion demand through route optimization.
