Abstract

This work analyses the operational characteristics, including the fuel consumption and carbon emissions of self-reported data of container vessels performing regular short sea voyages in the Black Sea. The data are extracted from the EMSA THETIS-MRV database covering the period of 2018–2021. The main particulars of container ships that visited six Black Sea ports were collected from the Marine Traffic platform and Equasis database. Several conclusions about the status of carbon emissions from container shipping in the Black Sea are presented, which may support the short shipping companies in developing measures to incentivise decarbonisation in the region. It has been identified that the correlation between ship deadweight and total fuel consumption and CO2 emissions is weaker than the correlation between distance travelled and transport work. The decrease in CO2 emissions in 2021 can be attributed to reduced ship activity and emission-reduction measures. The ratios of CO2-related indicators to ship deadweight are more diminutive, showing a lack of correlation. An approach based on the confidence ellipses is employed in performing an innovative analysis of the CO2 emissions over the years for container ships operating in the Black Sea. This is important due to the new requests for using EEXI and CII.

黑海集装箱航运碳排放统计分析

这项研究分析了在黑海进行定期短途航行的集装箱船的运营特征，包括自报数据中的燃料消耗和碳排放。数据摘自 EMSA THETIS-MRV 数据库，时间跨度为 2018-2021 年。从海上交通平台和 Equasis 数据库中收集了访问黑海六个港口的集装箱船的主要详情。报告提出了有关黑海集装箱航运碳排放状况的若干结论，这些结论可能有助于短期航运公司制定激励该地区去碳化的措施。研究发现，船舶载重量和燃料消耗总量与二氧化碳排放量之间的相关性弱于航行距离与运输工作量之间的相关性。2021 年二氧化碳排放量的减少可归因于船舶活动的减少和减排措施。二氧化碳相关指标与船舶载重量的比率更小，显示出缺乏相关性。在对在黑海运营的集装箱船多年来的二氧化碳排放量进行创新分析时，采用了基于置信椭圆的方法。由于对使用 EEXI 和 CII 提出了新要求，这一点非常重要。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
