    abstract = {The regulation of ship emissions has become more restrictive due to their significant impact on global air quality,
particularly in coastal regions. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations, current
restrictions mainly limit the sulfur content of the fuel mass to 0.5 % and 0.1 % respectively. In compliance with
these regulations, exhaust SO2 cleaning systems (scrubbers) and new low-sulfur fuels are increasingly used. For
comprehensive monitoring of ship emissions, advanced measurement techniques are demanded. Our study reports
on the results of a land-based field campaign conducted in the port of Rostock, Germany. The chosen
location strategically positions the measurement setup to capture all incoming and outgoing ships passing within
a distance of up to 2 km. Potential ship exhaust plumes are indicated by rapid changes in particle number and
size distribution monitored by an optical particle sizer (OPS) and a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS).
Additionally, single-particle mass spectrometry (SPMS) was used to qualitatively characterize ambient singleparticles
(0.2–2.5 μm) by their chemical signatures. In a one-week time span, the exhaust plumes of 73 ships
were identified. The high sensitivity of SPMS to transition metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in
individual particles make it possible to distinguish between different marine fuels.},
