Based on the guidelines for compiling air pollutant and greenhouse gas emission inventories, a comprehensive emission inventory for typical coastal container terminals is established. By integrating on-site investigation data, emission factors, and activity level data, emissions during four operational stages (quayside loading/unloading, yard loading/unloading, horizontal transportation, auxiliary and ancillary production) in 2023 are estimated. The Monte Carlo simulation is performed to quantify uncertainties. The research shows that NOx and CO are the main air pollutants at the terminals, with container trucks and stackers as the primary sources of air pollutants. Indirect emissions from electricity consumption contribute the most to carbon emissions, with container trucks, yard cranes, and shore bridge being the main sources, accounting for 25.57%, 23.78%, and 23.43% respectively. The uncertainty of the inventory ranges from -67% to 139%. This comprehensive inventory reflects the characteristics of air pollutant and carbon dioxide emissions at coastal container terminals, providing scientific support for air pollution control and carbon emission reduction.
