On-board emission measurements were conducted at the exhaust of a passenger ship operating under real-world conditions. The chemical composition of exhaust particulate emissions from a turbocharged four-stroke marine diesel engine, operated on Marine Gas Oil was studied. A variety of organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, esters, ketones, carboxylic acids, etc., were analyzed. Alkanes were the most abundant organic compounds, followed by alkenes, esters, and alcohols. Emission factors for these compounds were determined under two operating conditions: low engine load (at berth at 400 rpm/4% load, and during port maneuvers at 800 rpm/14% load) and high engine load (during cruising at 1000 rpm, 68% load). A clear increase in organic-compound emission factors was observed at lower loads. The total particulate matter emission factors were between 0.02 and 0.03 g/kWh at high-load points and exhibited significant variability under low-load conditions, from 0.02 to 2.83 g/kWh. The effect of a marine fuel additive was evaluated in this study. Using this fuel additive resulted in a significant decrease in both particulate matter and organic-compound emission factors, especially at low engine loads. Furthermore, the marine fuel additive decreased the total emission factors (EFTOCs) by a factor of 56 under low-load conditions. For high loads, the additive had no effect on the EFTOCs.
