Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of providing 1 ton-kilometer for a container ship (deadweight 11,000-12,000 tons) operating in coastal/marine areas. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including container ship production and maintenance, port infrastructure construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions.
The average cargo capacity of this bulk carrier is approximately 12,000 tons, with a main engine power of about 2,970 kW. These values are based on Chinese marine vessel standards, shipbuilding certificates, and related documentation. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the ship's average cargo load, main engine power, and operating speed. Major emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O, etc.) are calculated according to marine fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port infrastructure, data is reasonably extrapolated based on global port-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km of maritime transport service by container ships (deadweight 11,000-12,000 tons) in China's coastal and offshore waters. The dataset covers the entire transport life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using container ships (deadweight of 11,000–12,000 tons) in coastal and maritime areas of China. It represents a transport service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The ship uses diesel fuel.
