Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of providing 1 ton-kilometer using a dry cargo vessel (deadweight of 2500 tons) in inland waterway regions (regardless of watershed). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including the production and maintenance of the dry cargo vessel, the construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
The vessel has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 2500 tons and a main engine power of approximately 800 kW, both values based on 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 are reasonably extrapolated based on global port and canal information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 t·km for dry bulk carriers (deadweight of 2,500 t) in inland waterways of China (without distinction by basin). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of dry bulk carriers, construction of canals and ports, and energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for freight transportation services of 1 t·km using dry bulk carriers (deadweight 2,500 t) in inland waterways in China (without distinguishing river basins). This represents transporting 1 ton of goods over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel operates on diesel fuel.
