Abstract

     Maritime sector and shipping generate impacts for the health and wealth of the Ocean. These include, marine pollution (from oil and ballast water) one of  resource depletion (from energy consumption - shipping being heavily hooked into oil for propulsion), CO2 emissions, pollution, and global climate change, also as other damages resulting from operations, accidents, noise, etc. The man source of the pollution inside Alexandria Port is shipping. The air pollutants such as Sulphur Oxides (SOX), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Particulate matter (PM), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and Ozone depleting substances (ODS) which impact on all ecosystem. The different composition of air pollutants, the dose and time of exposure and therefore the incontrovertible fact that humans are usually exposed to pollutant mixtures than to single substances, can cause diverse impacts on human health. Human health effects can range from nausea and difficulty in breathing or skin irritation, to cancer.When Ships stay to loading and discharging in Alexandria ports using its DG, s which called AE.The emissions of DG,s Depends on Fuel Type. This paper is prepared to Evaluate and find the ships total emissions load emitted from the ships during its period berthing in Alexandria port. Our study area is Alexandria Port, the Port of Alexandria is on the West of the Nile Delta between the Mediterranean and Mariut Lake in Alexandria.
