Description
This dataset describes the transportation service of one TEU over a distance of one kilometer within inland waterway regions (regardless of watershed) using a container ship with a capacity of 50 TEUs. Port throughput refers to the total amount of cargo, measured in "twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs)", which is imported and exported through a port area by waterborne transport and handled by loading and unloading operations during a given period. One standard container measures 20 feet in length × 8 feet in width × 8.6 feet in height (6.1 m × 2.44 m × 2.59 m, 38. 55 m3); when using this dataset, it can be converted according to the actual cargo transportation conditions. The container ship has a capacity of 50 TEUs, with a main engine power of 460 kW. Fuel consumption and key emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O) are calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. When modeling and selecting container transport for goods, this dataset can be used as follows: if your cargo volume is 1 m3, you need to convert it into TEU units. The conversion method is 1 m3 = 0. 02594(1/38.55)TEU
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 TEU·km transportation service by container ships (with a capacity of 50 TEU) in China's inland waterway regions (regardless of watershed). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for freight transport services of 1 TEU·km using a container ship (50 TEU capacity) in China's inland waterway areas (regardless of watershed). This service provides transportation of one standard container over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
