“…Such chemical interaction between shipping emissions and RHS is also expected in other parts of the world with marked shipping activities, for example, the North Sea (Bencs et al, 2020), southern Europe (Nunes et al, 2020), northern Europe (Tang et al, 2020), and North Pacific and North Atlantic (Crippa et al, 2018).…”

Shipment is the dominant method for redistributing products from one continent to another and is critical in sustaining the world's economy. Shipping activities result in emissions of air pollutants over natural waters and contribute approximately 15% of the NO x emissions and 13% of the SO x emissions on a global scale (IMO, 2014; Kontovas, 2020). Ship-originated air pollutants (primary emissions and their secondary products) have been reported to affect the atmospheric composition, air quality, and human health. A pioneering study by Lawrence and Crutzen (1999) revealed that ship emissions reshape atmospheric chemistry in the marine boundary layer (MBL). Eyring et al. (2010) reported that ship emissions of air pollutants caused air quality problems with elevated nitrogen oxides, sulfur, particulate matter, and ground-level ozone (O 3) in coastal areas and harbors. Fan et al. (2016) and Lv et al. (2018) also suggested that ship emissions have a noticeable influence on air quality in East China and East Asia, respectively. The reduced air quality due to ship emissions can lead to adverse health impacts with 14,500-37,500 worldwide premature deaths per year (H. Liu et al., 2016). Ship emissions affect climate via their effects on greenhouse gases (CO 2 , CH 4 , and O 3) and cloud condensation nuclei (Von Schneidemesser et al., 2015). Ship emissions also change marine stratocumulus regime of open cells into closed cells inducing negative radiative forcing (Y.-C. Chen et al., 2012; Goren & Rosenfeld, 2012). The budget of reactive halogen species (RHS) can also be influenced by shipping emissions. Osthoff et al. (2008) reported the first ambient measurement of ClNO 2 , an important reservoir of reactive chlorine,
