This study uses a bottom-up activity-based model to estimate atmospheric emissions released from containerships at berth during the year 2012 in the three largest Taiwanese container ports: Kaohsiung, Keelung, and Taichung. The results produced indicate that containerships are responsible for a significant amount of airborne emissions in ports. Kaohsiung is found to contribute approximately 58.65% of the emissions from all types of atmospheric pollution across all three ports. However, emissions per container handled in the port were found to be the lowest in comparison to the other two ports in the study. Potential abatement and mitigation strategies to avoid or reduce these emissions are then analyzed in the light of the results obtained.
