Description
This dataset represents the transport service of providing 1 ton-kilometer by a liquid cargo ship (deadweight 3,500 tons) operating in inland waterways (regardless of watershed). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including vessel production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.
The cargo ship has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 3,500 tons and a main engine power of approximately 1,100 kW, with these values referencing Chinese inland waterway vessel standards. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's loading capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. Main 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 is reasonably extrapolated based on global port and canal information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 t·km for liquid cargo ships (deadweight of 3,500 tons) in inland river regions of China (regardless of watershed). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of liquid cargo ships, the construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services transporting cargo by tanker (deadweight 3,500 t) within inland waterways in China (regardless of watershed). This represents a transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
