Appendix 5.1b - Calculation of Emission Factors for Marine Vessels
According to Table 3.1-1, AP42, 5th edition for uncontrolled diesel-fired gas tubines
Pollutant Emissions (lb/MMBtu)
NOx 8.80E-01  
Note:
To convert lb/MMBtu to lb/103 gallons, multiply by 139
To convert lb/103 gallons to kg/103 L, multiply by 0.12
According to Analysis of Commercial Marine Vessels Emissions and Fuel Consumption Data:
Emissions(mode) = emission factor of NO2 x Load Factor(mode) x Engine Power (kW) x Time(mode)
EF of NO2 (g/kW-hr) = 7.59E-01
EF of NO2/ferry (g/s) = 2.20E+00
Fuel consumption1 (L/hr) 2.70E+03
Load Factor2, LF(idling)(%) = 10
Load Factor2, LF(travelling)(%) = 100
Power of vessel1 (kW) = 10440
For Idling

B 22 10 1 2 20 7.339E-02 1.468E-01
Notes:
A: Traveling between MFT and Macau
B: Traveling between MFT and Mainland China
1   As a worst-case scenario, TriCat (Caterpillat Solar Taurus gas turbine), which has the greatest engine power of 2 x 5220kW, was assumed in the assessment.
2   Based on the Analysis of Commercial Marine Vessels Emissions and Fuel Consumption Data from USEPA, the load factor of passenger vessel in idling mode was 10%, and ferry during travelling was assumed full load.
3   1 ferry consists of 2 movements
4   Sailing Schedule:
    Type A: 07:00-19:00(daytime), 19:01-02:30(night time)
    Type B: 07:00-19:00(daytime), 19:01-21:30(night time)
