Economic activities in the Black Sea basin are various and multiple. Seaborne trade between countries from Asia, Africa, and Europe together with exploiting continental shelf hydrocarbon resources involve an intense maritime transport activity. Harmful gas emissions from ships unavoidably accompany these activities. The latest reports indicate that ships' emissions are the primary air pollutant with a destructive impact on climate change and human health. In this respect, the most sensitive area is the coastal one along with the existence of large harbors and cities, ships' emissions being able to travel through atmosphere hundreds of kilometers. This paper developed a mathematical model based on ship features and a series of factors as the duration of maneuvering, in the port activities and fuel types. The emissions were determined for a time frame of ten years considering Romanian ports at the Black Sea. An analysis of possibilities to reduce air emissions from ships is also provided in the article along with aspects related to the provision of leading international organizations regarding emissions downsizing. The findings of this work can serve as a base to evaluate the impact of ship emissions on the environment and human health and too resolute appropriate environmental standards by national authorities.
