Milford Haven port in Wales was the most polluted port in the UK for sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions from shipping activities in 2022, with almost 75,000 kilograms of this toxic pollutant produced. This was equivalent to the SOx emissions from 67,000 cars. Southampton was the third-most polluted port that year, with 43,427 kilograms of SOx emitted from 723 vessels. Unlike at the Mildford Haven and Immingham ports, where emissions mainly come from tanker ships, the largest share of SOx emissions produced at the Port of Southampton come from cruise ships. In fact, Southampton was among the most polluted ports from cruise ships in Europe in 2022.
