Description: Ships emit significant amounts of particulate matter (PM) in addition to other air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOX) and sulfur oxides (SOX). The introduction of a Global Sulfur cap of 0.5% (m/m) in 2020 was supposed to reduce emissions of SOX and indirectly PM, but this has only been partially the case. For this reason, it may make sense to focus on reduction of PM mass and particle number (PN) emissions from international shipping next to the ongoing discussion in the International Maritime Organization on reducing black carbon (BC) in the Arctic. An overview of PM measurement methods and limits that have been established in PM related regulations in other transportation sectors is presented. Various ship-specific measures to reduce PM emissions are described, including the use of cleaner fuels, exhaust gas treatment systems and a combination of both. Based on the analysis of the status quo, possible measures for a regulatory framework are proposed.
