Description
This dataset describes the provision of transport services for one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer in coastal/marine areas using a container ship with a capacity of 2,000 TEU. Port throughput refers to the total volume of cargo transported in and out of a port area by water and handled during a certain period, typically measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), with one standard container measuring 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 freight transportation conditions. The container ship has a capacity of 2,000 TEUs, and fuel consumption and major 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 cargo, this dataset can be used as follows: for example, if your cargo volume is 1 m³, you need to convert it into TEU units, using the conversion rate 1 m³ = 0.02594 (1/38. 55 TEU
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 TEU·km transport services provided by a 2,000 TEU container ship operating in coastal and offshore areas of China. The dataset covers the entire transportation lifecycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port infrastructure construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for freight transport services of 1 TEU·km using a container ship (capacity 2,000 TEU) in China's coastal and offshore areas. This represents a transport service providing one standard container over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
