A recent publication, "Particle emissions from ship exhaust", from Chalmers University reports on emissions of particles from sea traffic in light of an anticipated shift in fuels from residual oils to marine diesel. Another report, entitled "Seawater Scrubbing", addresses seawater scrubbing as a promising technology for reducing sulphur oxide emissions from ships. Both reports are available for download.
