Description
This dataset represents the provision of 1 ton-kilometer of freight transport service by a container ship (deadweight 7,000--8,000 tons) operating in coastal and maritime areas. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of shipping, including container ship production and maintenance, port infrastructure construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions. The average cargo capacity of this bulk carrier is approximately 7,961 tons, with a main engine power output of about 2,260 kW; these values are based on Chinese maritime vessel standards, shipbuilding certificates, and related documentation. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's average cargo load, main engine power, and operational speed. Major emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O, etc.) are estimated 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 the transport service of 1 t·km for a cargo container ship (deadweight 7,000–8,000 tons) operating in China's coastal and offshore areas. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using container ships (deadweight 7,000-8,000 t) in coastal and offshore areas of China. This service provides 1 ton of transportation over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
