Lecture: Noise from moored ships: NEPTUNES measurement protocol
Author(s): Witte Rob
Summary:
The NEPTUNES (Noise Exploration Program To Understand Noise Emitted by Seagoing ships) project is about mitigating the noise impact from moored ships around sea ports. This project is a combined effort from eleven different ports around the world. Next to legislation and information, this project aims to reduce the annoyance caused by ship noise amongst others by pricing noisy ships as an aspect of port fees. This requires a noise measurement protocol that specifies how and which sources have to be measured. In addition to sound power levels, this measurement protocol also gathers information on possible hindrance aspects like tonality, low frequency and fluctuating noise. This paper gives information on the background and the status of this measurement protocol.
