Description
This dataset represents the transport service of providing 1 ton-kilometer using a liquid cargo vessel (deadweight of 800 tons) in inland waterway regions (without distinguishing specific river basins). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transportation, including the production and maintenance of the liquid cargo vessel, the construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
The vessel has a DWT (deadweight tonnage) of 800 tons and a main engine power of approximately 510 kW, both values based on Chinese inland waterway vessel standards. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's carrying capacity, main engine power, and operational speed. Key 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, estimations are reasonably extrapolated from global port and canal-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 t·km by liquid cargo ships (deadweight of 800 t) in inland waterways of China (across all river basins). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of liquid cargo ships, the 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 transport services by tanker (deadweight of 800 t) within inland river regions of China (without distinguishing river basins). It represents transporting 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only freight transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
