Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer by container ships (deadweight 8,000--9,000 tons) operating in coastal and offshore waters. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of shipping, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, and energy use and operational emissions. The average cargo capacity of this bulk carrier is approximately 8,700 tons, and the main engine power is approximately 3,824 kW, with these values referenced from Chinese maritime vessel standards, shipbuilding certificates, and related documentation. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's average cargo capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. The main emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O, etc.) are calculated according to marine fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port infrastructure, data are reasonably extrapolated based on global port-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents a 1 t·km transport service provided by a container ship (deadweight 8,000–9,000 t) operating in China's coastal and offshore waters. The dataset covers the entire transport life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services by container ships (deadweight 8,000–9,000 tons) in Chinese coastal and offshore areas. This represents a transport service of 1 ton over 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
