This study investigates emissions from international sea transportation, focusing on the environmental impact of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from crude oil carriers. An analysis of emission trends from 1960 to 2000 was prepared for the RETRO project using simplified trends derived from fuel sales statistics. The study explores existing traffic, fuel consumption trends, and future perspectives, particularly in light of the forthcoming IMO Annex VI regulations. The research utilizes advanced CTM models running at higher resolutions and integrates new data on sulfur, oxidation chemistry, and carbonaceous aerosols.
