Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 ton-kilometer provided by a dry cargo vessel (deadweight of 1,500 tons) operating in inland waterways (regardless of watershed). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the dry cargo vessel, the construction of canals and ports, and energy consumption and operational emissions. The vessel has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 1,500 tons and a main engine power of approximately 600 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 estimated according to inland waterway vessel fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port and canal infrastructure, data are reasonably extrapolated based on global port and canal information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 t·km provided by a dry cargo ship (deadweight of 1500 tons) in inland waterways of China (regardless of watershed). It covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of dry cargo ships, the construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight transport services by dry bulk carriers (deadweight 1500 t) in inland waterways of China (regardless of watershed). It represents the transportation service of 1 tonne over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
