Description
This dataset describes the provision of transportation services for one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer in coastal/marine areas using a container ship (with a capacity of 1,000 TEU). Port throughput refers to the total volume of cargo handled at a port area over a given period, including both waterborne imports and exports that undergo loading and unloading operations. The unit of measurement is typically the standard container (TEU), with one standard container measuring 20 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8.6 feet in height (6.1 m × 2.44 m × 2.59 m, 38. 55m3), which can be converted according to the actual cargo transportation situation when using this dataset. The container ship has a capacity of 1,000 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 transportation for cargo, this dataset can be used as follows: if your cargo volume is 1m3, you need to convert it into TEU units. The conversion method is 1m3 = 0.02594 (1/38. 55) TEU
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transport service of 1 TEU·km provided by a container ship (with a capacity of 1,000 TEU) in China's coastal and offshore regions. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 TEU·km freight services using a 1000-TEU container ship in coastal and offshore areas of China. It represents a transport service of one standard container over a distance of one kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
