Description
This dataset describes the provision of transport services for one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer using a container ship (with a capacity of 600 TEUs) in coastal/marine areas. Port throughput refers to the total quantity of cargo handled during a certain period by waterborne transport entering, leaving, and undergoing loading/unloading operations at the port area, typically measured in 'twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU)', 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), which can be converted based on actual freight transportation conditions when using this dataset. The container ship has a capacity of 600 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 goods, this dataset can be used as follows: if your cargo volume is 1 m³, you need to convert the unit into TEUs using the conversion factor 1 m³ = 0.02594 (1/38.55) TEU.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 TEU·km for a container ship (with a capacity of 600 TEU) in coastal/sea areas of China. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, energy use, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for freight transport services of 1 TEU·km using a 600-TEU container ship in coastal and offshore areas of China. This represents a transportation service of one standard container over a distance of one kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
