Port Vessel Emissions Model (PVEM) is a computer program that calculates air pollutant emissions associated with vessel activity in ports for various operational scenarios. PVEM was developed for implementation on an IBM-PC or MS-DOS microcomputer equipped with 300K of available Random Access Memory. PVEM calculates fuel combustion-related pollutant emissions from marine engines resulting from vessel cruising, transit, maneuvering, hotelling, tug assistance and recreational vessel usage. PVEM also calculates hydrocarbons released to the atmosphere during liquid bulk loading/offloading, ballasting, lightering and bunkering. Pollutants calculated are nitrogen oxides (NOx), total hydrocarbons (THC), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM). PVEM can easily be adapted for application to any port through the use of port-specific input data on vessel movements and berth pathways. Documentation consists of 3 volumes. Volume I, the Study Report, is an overview of model development with model examples based on the Ports of Long Beach and Portland.
