Short summary

Ship emissions play an important role in the deposition of gaseous compounds and nanoparticles (N_tot), affecting climate, human health (especially in coastal areas), and eutrophication. Micrometeorological methods showed that ship emissions were mainly responsible for the deposition of N_tot, whereas they only accounted for a minor proportion of CO₂ deposition. An uncertainty analysis applied to the fluxes and fuel sulfur content results demonstrated the reliability of the results.
