Abstract

In view of the numerous discussions on global environmental issues, policies have been implemented to limit emissions in the field of marine transport, which accounts for a major part of international trade. In this study, a ship's emissions were calculated by applying the engine load factor to determine the total quantity of emissions based on the ship's speed reduction. For ships entering and leaving the Busan North Port from 1 January to 31 December 2017, emissions were calculated and analyzed based on the ship's type and its speed in the reduced speed zone (RSZ), which was set to 20 nautical miles. The comparison of the total amount of emissions under all situations, such as cruising, maneuvering, and hotelling modes revealed that the vessels that generated the most emissions were container ships at 76.1 %, general cargo ships at 7.2 %, and passenger ships at 6.8 %. In the cruising and maneuvering modes, general cargo ships discharged a lesser amount of emission in comparison with passenger ships; however, in the hotelling mode, the general cargo ships discharged a larger amount of emission than passenger ships. The total emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOC), were 49.4 %, 45 %, 4 %, and 1.6 %, respectively. Furthermore, the amounts of emission were compared when ships navigated at their average service speed, 12, 10, and 8 knots in the RSZ, respectively. At 12 knots, the reduction in emissions was more than that of the ships navigating at their average service speed by 39 % in NOx, 40 % in VOC, 42 % in PM, and 38 % in Sox. At 10 knots, the emission reductions were 52 %, 54 %, 56 %, and 50 % in NOx, VOC, PM, and Sox, respectively. At 8 knots, the emission reductions were 62 %, 64 %, 67 %, and 59 % in NOx, VOC, PM, and Sox, respectively. As a result, the emissions were ef ectively reduced when there was a reduction in the ship's speed. Therefore, it is necessary to consider limiting the speed of ships entering and leaving the port to decrease the total quantity of emissions.

최근 지구 환경문제에 대한 논의가 활발해지면서 국제 운송의 큰 부분을 차지하고 있는 해상운송에서도 배출물질 규제를 위한 정책이 시행되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 선속 제한에 의한 배출량의 감축 효과를 검토하기 위하여 기관 부하율을 적용하여 선박의 배출물질을 수치계산하였다. 2017년 1월 1일부터 12월 31일까지 부산 북항의 입출항 선박을 대상으로 선속제한구역 20마일권역을 설정하고 해당 구간에서의 선종별, 선속별로 배출량을 계산하고 분석하였다. 항행, 접 이안, 정박 중일 때를 모두 포함하여 가장 많은 배출물질을 발생시키는 선박은 컨테이너선 76.1 %, 일반화물선 7.2 %, 여객선 6.8 %의 순으로 계산되었다. 항행 및 접 이안 모드일 때는 일반화물선이 여객선보다 배출물질이 적었지만 정박 모드일 때는 여객선보다 많았다. 총 배출물질은 질소산화물, 황산화물, 입자상물질, 휘발성유기화합물의 순으로 각각 49.4 %, 45 %, 4 % 1.6 %로 구성되었다. 선속 제한이 없는 경우와 선박 속도를 12노트, 10노트, 8노트로 제한시킬 때 배출물질을 비교하면 속도 12노트 제한의 경우 질소산화물 39 %, 휘발성유기화합물 40 %, 입자상물질 42 %, 황산화물 38 %의 감소효과가 있고, 10노트 제한일 때 질소산화물 52 %, 휘발성유기화합물 54 %, 황산화물 56 %, SOx 50 %의 감소효과가 있으며, 8노트 제한일 때 질소산화물 62 %, 휘발성유기화합물 64 %, 입자상물질 67%, 황산화물 59 %의 감소효과가 있었다. 이처럼 선박의 속도 감소에 따라 배출물질 역시 크게 감소되는 연구결과를 확인할 수 있었으며, 향후 항만 배출물질 감소를 위해 선박의 속도를 제한하는 방안을 적극적으로 고려할 필요가 있다.
