Air pollution associated with the SOx emission from the shipboard propulsion and generation engines is becoming one of the major environmental concerns these days. Lead by the international organizations including IMO and European Union, a significantly strengthened air pollution related regulations have been introduced and they are becoming in practice as scheduled. Such rules are basically giving the guidelines for permissible SOx emission which can be only met by using high quality fuel oils with less sulfur content or operating scrubbing systems aiming at reducing SOx at the engine exhaust. Since both countermeasures can lead to the cost increase in ship building and operation, Korean shipbuilding industries, leading the world's market, need to be well aware of the ever changing regulations and be prepared with proper solutions. Here, we briefly summarize such latest rules and regulations on the air pollution at sea, and review some technical issues on the scrubbing systems available with some suggestions.

국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 황산화물(SOx)에 대한 배출 규제를 강화하고 있다. 2020년 1월 1일부터는 황함유량 0.5% 이하 선박연료유 사용을 의무화하고 있다. 그리고 온실가스 배출량 모니터링을 2019년 1월 1월부터 시행하여 총톤수 5천톤 이상 선박은 연료유 사용량을 의무적으로 보고해야 한다. 또한 배출통제구역(Emission Control Area, ECA)이 확대되고 있으며 지역별로도 저유황유 사용 의무화를 도입하는 항만이 증가하고 있다. 이와 같이 항만구역에서 선박 배기가스 배출 규제를 강화하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 컨테이너 물동량이 증가하고 있는 서산 대산항 컨테이너 부두를 중심으로 항만구역에서 배출되는 배기가스를 산출하였다.
