Existing ship emission inventories for coastal seas are typically gridded at 500 m to 1 km, a resolution too coarse to distinguish navigation channels from anchorage zones. Whether the hotspot patterns reported at such scales reflect true emission geography or are artifacts of spatial averaging remains an open question. We construct a 100 m resolution AIS-based emission inventory for two contrasting coastal environments in eas...

Ship pollution emissions have attracted increasing attention in the maritime field due to the massive growth of maritime traffic activities. It is important to identify the ship emissions (SEs) magnitude and corresponding spatial and temporal distributions for the purposes of developing appropriate strategies to mitigate environment pollution. The aim of this study was to estimate ship pollution emissions with various typical...
