Included activities starts

The dataset starts from the operation of dry bulk carriers.

Included activities ends

This dataset ends with the service of transporting 1 ton over 1 kilometer by dry bulk cargo ships within inland waterways (regardless of watershed). The dataset includes dry bulk cargo ship production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.

Description

This dataset represents the provision of 1 ton-kilometer of transport service by a dry cargo vessel (with a deadweight of 3,500 tons) operating in inland waterways (regardless of watershed). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the dry cargo vessel, the construction of canals and ports, and energy consumption and operational emissions. The deadweight tonnage (DWT) of the vessel is 3,500 tons, with a main engine power of approximately 1,000 kW, both values referenced from Chinese inland waterway vessel standards. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's carrying capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. Key emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O, etc.) are estimated according to inland waterway vessel fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port and canal infrastructure, data are reasonably extrapolated based on global port and canal information.

Activity Description

This dataset represents 1 t·km of transportation service by a dry bulk carrier (deadweight 3,500 t) operating in inland waterways across China (not distinguished by watershed). The dataset covers the entire life cycle of transportation, including the production and maintenance of dry bulk carriers, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.

Process Description

This dataset can be used for freight transport services of 1 t·km using dry bulk carriers (deadweight 3,500 t) in inland waterway regions of China (without distinguishing watersheds). It represents the provision of transporting 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only freight transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
