Description
This dataset represents the provision of 1 ton-kilometer freight transport service by a tanker vessel (deadweight of 3,000 tons) operating in inland waterway regions (regardless of watershed). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including tanker production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.
The vessel has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 3,000 tons and a main engine power of approximately 1,000 kW, both parameters referring to 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, estimations are derived through reasonable extrapolation based on global port and canal information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km of transportation service provided by a liquid cargo ship (deadweight of 3,000 t) operating in inland waterways of China (across all basins). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including cargo ship production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, and energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services of cargo ships (deadweight 3000 t) in inland waterways of China (regardless of watersheds). It represents transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
