This thesis examines the costs and benefits of reduction measures for the shipping industry. Also, this paper provides a wider viewpoint by integrating the technological cost of the reduction methods and the social environmental benefits from emission reduction. We quantitatively analyse the merits of the control methods available in marine air pollution control practice by using data based on already related studies. After that, detailed NOx, SO2 and PM2.5 emissions have been estimated for cruise ships in the main Greek ports for the years 2013 and 2014. All the data used were, carefully collected from local Port authorities and compared with similar data of other sources to harmonize any discrepancies. Generally, it is quite difficult to find a general acceptable solution for every ship, because each ship has different needs. However, the results of our study showed that the most feasible and cost-effective technologies may be found among Sea Water Scrubbing, Selective Catalytic Reduction or LNG and Shore Side Power (Cold Ironing).
