Methodology
Activity Data
Primary fuel delivery data for national fishing is included in NEB lines 6 ('International Deep-Sea Bunkers') and 64 ('Coastal and Inland Navigation') for IMO-registered and unregistered ships respectively. (AGEB, 2025) 1)
The actual annual amounts used are therefore calculated within (Deichnik (2025)), where ship movement data (AIS signal) allows for a bottom-up approach providing the needed differentiation.2)

Emission factors
The emission factors applied here, are derived from different sources and therefore are of very different quality.
For the main pollutants, country-specific implied values are used, that are based on tier3 EF included in the BSH model 3) which mainly relate on values from the EMEP/EEA guidebook 2023 4). These modelled IEFs take into account the ship specific information derived from AIS data as well as the mix of fuel-qualities applied depending on the type of ship and the current state of activity.

Uncertainties
Uncertainty estimates for emission factors were adopted from NFR 1.A.3.d i as a comparable emission source.
Planned improvements
Besides a routine revision of the underlying BSH model, further focus will be put on the correct allocation of actvity data to the different navigation activities covered in different NFR sub-sectors.
With respect to the strong increase in activity data from 2015 to 2016: This issue is under discussion with the BSH Hamburg as the agency in charge of the underlying model. However, these activity data are based on ship movement data showing a correspondingly increasing trend. Nonetheless, the model is under steady revision and erroneous calculations and results will be corrected whenever they are determined.
