Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of providing one ton of cargo for a liquid cargo ship (deadweight of 15,000 tons) operating within a distance of one kilometer in coastal or offshore waters. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transportation, including ship production and maintenance, port construction, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.
The liquid cargo ship has a DWT (deadweight tonnage) capacity of 15,000 tons and a main engine power of approximately 3,970 kW, with these values referenced from Chinese maritime vessel standards and related sources. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. Major emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O, etc.) are calculated according to marine fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port infrastructure, data is reasonably extrapolated based on global port-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km transportation service by a liquid cargo ship (deadweight of 15,000 tons) in China's coastal/marine regions. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the liquid cargo ship, port construction, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight transport services by tanker (deadweight 15,000 metric tons) in China's coastal and offshore waters. It represents transporting 1 metric ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only freight transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
