Kurzfassung:
Abstract. This paper describes the new developments of the Ship
Traffic Emission Assessment Model (STEAM) which enable the modelling of
pollutant discharges to water from ships. These include nutrients from
black/grey water discharges as well as from food waste. Further, the
modelling of contaminants in ballast, black, grey and scrubber water, bilge
discharges, and stern tube oil leaks are also described as well as releases of
contaminants from antifouling paints. Each of the discharges is regulated
by different sections of the IMO MARPOL convention, and emission patterns of
different pollution releases vary significantly. The discharge patterns and
total amounts for the year 2012 in the Baltic Sea area are reported and open-loop SOx scrubbing effluent was found to be the second-largest pollutant
stream by volume. The scrubber discharges have increased significantly in
recent years, and their environmental impacts need to be investigated in
detail.
