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 transportation service of providing one ton-kilometer using a dry cargo vessel (deadweight of 4,500 tonnes) operating in inland waterway regions (regardless of specific river basins). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the dry cargo vessel, the construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions. The vessel has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 4,500 tonnes and a main engine power of approximately 1,300 kW, both values referenced from Chinese inland waterway vessel standards. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. Major emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O, etc.) are calculated according to inland waterway vessel fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port and canal infrastructure, data is reasonably extrapolated based on global port and canal information.

Activity Description

This dataset represents 1 t·km transportation services provided by dry bulk carriers (deadweight of 4,500 t) in inland waterways of China (regardless of watershed). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of dry bulk carriers, 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 dry bulk carriers (deadweight 4,500 tonnes) in inland waterways of China (without distinguishing watersheds). This represents a transport service of 1 tonne over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
