LANUV NRW participated in the EU project CLean INland SHipping (CLINSH) with intensive investigations on NO x emissions from shipping and port operations in Europe’s largest inland port Duisburg and in the port of Neuss. In addition, new methods have been developed for recording NO x emissions from both moored and moving ships. Directly on the shore, relatively high pollution shares from Rhine shipping are evident, which rapidly decrease with increasing distance from the shipping channel. At a greater distance from the Rhine and the port, the pollution shares caused by ships and port operations do not play a significant role in the residential areas. A more detailed description of the individual CLINSH activities from NRW can be found in the German or English language reports of LANUV NRW [3a,b – 8a,b].
