PVEM?A Model for Assessing Vessel Air Pollutants

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Abstract:

The Port Vessel Emission Model (PVEM) is a computer program which calculates air pollutant emissions resulting from vessel activity in a port for various operations scenarios. These scenarios are defined by three major variables: port geometry, vessel calls, and at-berth vessel activities. PVEM is a flexible, menu-driven model that can be used at different levels of input and output complexity. The model is structured into three modules: berth pathways, vessel movements and pollutant emission rates. PVEM can also be used to develop emissions data bases for air quality dispersion models.
