Description
This dataset describes the transportation service of providing one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer using a 900-TEU container ship in coastal/marine areas. Port throughput refers to the total volume of cargo, measured over a specific period, that is shipped in and out of a port area via waterway and handled through loading and unloading operations. The standard unit of measurement is typically the 'twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU),' with one standard container measuring 20 feet long * 8 feet wide * 8.6 feet high (6.1 m * 2.44 m * 2.59 m, 38. (55 m³); when using this dataset, it can be converted according to actual freight transportation conditions. This container ship has a capacity of 900 TEUs, and fuel consumption and major emissions (CO₂, NOₓ, SOₓ, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH₄, N₂O) are calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. When modeling cargo transportation via containers, this dataset can be used as follows: if your cargo volume is 1 m³, you need to convert it into TEU units. The conversion method is 1 m³ = 0.02594 (1/38.55) TEU
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 TEU·km for a container ship (900 TEU capacity) in China's coastal and offshore areas. The dataset covers the entire transportation 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 freight transport services of 1 TEU·km using a 900-TEU container ship in China's coastal and offshore areas. It represents a transportation service of one twenty-foot equivalent unit over a distance of one kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
