This thesis is being carried out within the framework of the postgraduate diploma for the Department of Production and Management Engineering of the TechnicalUniversity of Crete aiming to carry out a study on the reduction of pollutants emitted in major ports in the country by exploiting existing RES units to cover the electrical load required by cruise ships during the mooring phase.The first chapter introduces some notions about emissions of gaseous pollutants in ports and the impacts on human health, focusing on cruise activity, which is also the most important pollution factor in ports, especially during the cruise ship's mooring phase (hoteling). Below, the image that prevails in Greece and Europe is displayed, as well as the policy that is now being pursued in order to reduce emissions of gaseous pollutants.In the second chapter an attempt is made to present the methodologies used in various surveys with the cause of estimating the pollutants emitted in shipping and tourism in general. Subsequently, pollutant assessment studies specifically made in ports are presented, so that there is a complete picture of the selection of the methodology used in this survey.The third chapter analyzes the “bottom up” methodology used to estimate thepollutants emitted as well as the procedure followed for extracting the load data. Then it introduces the process of selecting RES units (Renewable Energy Sources) to meet the required load. Finally, the HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) software that was used to simulate the system is displayed.The fourth chapter presents the results of the simulation and analyzes the coverage rates of the required load from renewable sources in each port in order to analyze the possibility of decommissioning cruise ships from the use of conventional fuels during the mooring phase.
