Abstract
Parameters affecting exhaust particle emission rates from
a new Tier 2 NOx emission category ship were
investigated. The ship was operated with current emission
control area (ECA) compatible fuel that contains max. 1 %
sulphur S and in EU port areas with the allowed fuel
quality of max. 0.1 % S. The operation of the ship was
realistic containing cruising at sea and transitional
manoeuvring and port operations. In addition, changes in
particle emission rates during gradual power increase 10
% -> 100 % were analysed. Particle number PN emissions
were analysed on continuous basis with ELPI, and particle
mass PM emissions both from the hot stack (ISO9096) and
from diluted and cooled exhaust (ISO8178:2006). The most
pronounced reduction on PM and PN emission rates was
associated with fuel quality, not with engine load or
ship's operational mode
