Noise from ships in ports. Possibilities for noise reduction

Abstract
The report summarizes the significant noise sources on berthed ships and the relevant possibilities for noise reduction. Typical values for the acoustic source strength (sound power level) of ships are given, and it is found that a typical ship should be berthed more than 600 m from dwellings in city centres to avoid breaking the guideline noise limit for the night period.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
