Studies on the global climate change and the measures to be taken to alleviate the problem have long emphasized the critical importance of this issue for humanity’s future. The impact of exhaust gas emissions from maritime transport on air quality and global climate change is also examined by scientists. In particular, the restrictions imposed by the law-makers like International Maritime Organization (IMO) and European Union (EU) on maritime shipping to improve air quality requires flag states, ships, ship owners and seamen to reduce ship emissions. In this study, Nitrogen Oxide (NO_x), Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Particulate Matter (PM) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions of ships coming to Turkey’s four important ports (Ambarlı, Izmir, Mersin and Kocaeli ports) are theoretically calculated with two bottom-up methods. Port durations and ship technical data are the real data obtained by following the ships coming to all ports for 1-year period. Based on the emission calculations for all ports, container vessels, which are the most common vessel types, were selected and emission estimation models were obtained for cruising, maneuvering and port operating modes depending on the type and gross tonnage (GRT) of these vessels. The emission estimation models obtained from the study can be used to estimate approximate exhaust gas emissions from container ships with known GRT values and to model ship-based air pollution. When the average error margins are analyzed, it was estimated with 2.03% error in cruising mode, 1.63% in maneuvering mode and 9.44% in port mode for container ships according to the GRT in the ports of Turkey.

长期以来，对全球气候变化和缓解问题措施的研究一直强调这一问题对人类未来的至关重要性。科学家还研究了海上运输废气排放对空气质量和全球气候变化的影响。尤其是国际海事组织（IMO）和欧盟（EU）等立法者为改善空气质量而对海运施加的限制，要求船旗国、船舶、船东和海员减少船舶排放。在本研究中，氮氧化物 (NO _x )、二氧化硫 (SO ₂ )、二氧化碳 (CO ₂)、进入土耳其四个重要港口（安巴尔利、伊兹密尔、梅尔辛和科贾埃利港口）的船舶的挥发性有机化合物（VOC）、颗粒物（PM）和一氧化碳（CO）排放量，理论上是通过两种自下而上的方法计算得出的。港口持续时间和船舶技术数据是跟踪船舶进港1年的真实数据。根据所有港口的排放计算，选择了最常见的集装箱船类型，并根据这些船只的类型和总吨位 (GRT) 获得了巡航、操纵和港口运营模式的排放估算模型。从研究中获得的排放估算模型可用于估算具有已知 GRT 值的集装箱船的近似废气排放，并模拟船舶空气污染。
