Estimation and distribution of exhaust ship emission from marine traffic in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore using Automatic Identification System (AIS) data

Global warming and air pollution have become one of the important issues to the entire world community. Exhaust emissions from ships has been contributing to the health problems and environmental damage.

Shipbuilding. Marine engineering Global warming and air pollution have become one of the important issues to the entire world community. Exhaust emissions from ships has been contributing to the health problems and environmental damage. This study focuses on the Strait of Malacca area because it is one of the world’s most congested straits used for international shipping where located on the border among three countries of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The study seeks to estimate of the exhaust emission and to know the concentration of emission to several areas around. This is accomplished by evaluating the density of shipping lanes in the Straits of Malacca by using the data which obtained by Automatic Identification System (AIS). To show the movement patterns of ships, operational mode and influence of the ship movement to the distribution of emissions are integrating of AIS data and GIS software.
