Description
This dataset represents the provision of 1 ton-kilometer freight transport service by a liquid cargo ship (deadweight of 1,000 tons) within inland waterway regions in China, regardless of watershed. The transport dataset covers the entire life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the liquid cargo ship, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
The liquid cargo ship has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 1,000 tons and a main engine power of approximately 560 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, estimates are derived through reasonable extrapolation based on global port and canal information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of liquid cargo ships (deadweight of 1,000 tons) in the inland waterway areas of China (regardless of watershed), providing 1 ton-kilometer of transport. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of liquid cargo ships, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for freight transport services of 1 t·km using tankers (deadweight 1000 t) in inland waterways of China (regardless of watershed). It represents transporting 1 ton of goods over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel operates on diesel fuel.
