“…[18] found that only 0.121% of GHG emissions were released throughout the entire life cycle of a 180,000-ton ship in 2010. Similarly, Ailong Fan [19] observed that GHG emissions from ship disassembling accounted for approximately 0.73%, while Nathanael Ko et al [20] reported this contribution for that was around 0.4%. These literature findings collectively indicated that ship disassembling had an insignificant GWP across a vessel's entire life cycle, with most contributions being less than 1%.…”

“…The processes involved in fish feed production (fish meal production, soybean meal production, wheat production, corn production, etc.) and fingerling breeding (hatchery operations for nursery and grow-up stages) were similar to those described by Ulf Johansen et al [10], N.Pelletier et al [18], and FAO's Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper 626 [19]. The background data obtained from this literature were utilized to model the inputs of feed production and fingerling breeding processes.…”

“…The background data obtained from this literature were utilized to model the inputs of feed production and fingerling breeding processes. The quantification of carbon emissions during the construction process of the aquaculture vessel was based on the relevant research findings [18][19][20]23,24] regarding carbon emission assessment in ship life cycles. The carbon emission factors for each transportation in sub-process were based on relevant research conducted by Ulf Johansen et al [10].…”

“…Furthermore, some findings from studies focusing on lighter ships had also been similar. Ailong Fan [19] found that for a DWT = 7500-ton ship, GHG emissions accounted for about 4.64%, and Nathanael Ko et al [20] reported that for an LDT = 4108-ton ship, the contribution was approximately 4.46%. All these literature findings consistently indicate that the GWP contribution from ship construction throughout a ship's whole life cycle ranges from 2-5%, predominantly at around 4%, regardless of the size of the ship.…”

The present study conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the carbon emissions associated with large yellow croaker farming on Aquaculture Vessel “Conson No. 1”. The functional unit considered was 1 kg of fresh large yellow croakers delivered to a wholesaler. The life cycle of large yellow croaker farming on the aquaculture vessel was divided into five processes: feed production (FP), ship construction (SC), fingerling breeding (FB), adult fish farming (AF), and fish distribution (FD). Results showed that the carbon footprint (CF, kgCO2e/kg LW) for the complete life cycle amounted to 6.2170 kgCO2e/kg LW, while the CF per unit economic value of “Conson No. 1” large yellow croaker was estimated at 31 gCO2e/CNY. Among all processes, AF and FP had the highest CF contribution rates at 69.30% and 24.86%, respectively. Notably, energy consumption by aquaculture equipment on board emerged as the primary contributor across all sources of CF. Comparative analysis demonstrated that the CF of marine fish farming on the aquaculture vessel was lower than that of closed aquaculture systems’ average level and it was a viable option for implementing low-carbon aquaculture in the deep sea. In order to reduce energy consumption and promote a low-carbon economy in aquaculture vessels, several suggestions were proposed, including adjusting energy structure, enhancing energy efficiency, improving feed ratio, and optimizing feeding methods.

“…Fan et al [25] investigated the carbon footprints of inland vessels from both a micro and macro perspective, introducing a comprehensive life cycle perspective on CO 2 emissions from vessels. Throughout the vessel's life cycle, carbon emissions from the WTT and TTW phases constituted 89.48-95.15% of their total emissions.…”

Emissions originating from inland navigation should be reduced to achieve climate targets. This paper aims to identify (1) onboard GHG emission measurement systems, (2) calculation methods for GHG emissions of inland vessels and (3) reduction measures. A systematic literature review, examining 6 databases, yielded 105 initial outcomes, with 17 relevant references. The review reveals a scarcity of studies, with the majority concentrated in Europe and Asia, while North America, Africa, Australia, and South America remain largely unexplored. Four of the seventeen relevant studies focused on real-world GHG emissions measurement. Future research should explore more efficient and calibrated approaches for real-time CO2 insights in inland vessels. In the section on calculating GHG emissions, most papers attempt to adapt the EEDI or EEXI to inland navigation. Reduction measures for GHG emissions concentrate on alternative fuels, like LNG, methanol, hydrogen, or alternative power sources. As the research in this area is limited, prioritizing it in academic discourse is not only essential for advancing our understanding but also imperative for shaping a resilient and environmentally conscious future for inland navigation.
