Description
This dataset represents the provision of inland freight transport services for one ton-kilometer by a liquid cargo ship with a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 2,500 tons, operating in inland waterways across regions (regardless of river basin). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the cargo vessel, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.
The vessel has a DWT of 2,500 tons and a main engine power of approximately 800 kW, values based on Chinese inland waterway vessel standards. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. Primary emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O, etc.) are determined according to inland waterway vessel fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port and canal infrastructure, estimates are derived through reasonable extrapolation based on global port and canal-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km transportation service provided by a liquid cargo ship (deadweight of 2,500 t) in inland waterways of China (regardless of watershed). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including production and maintenance of the liquid cargo ship, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services of cargo ships (deadweight 2,500 t) in inland water areas of China (without distinguishing watersheds). This refers to providing transportation services for 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The ship uses diesel fuel.
