Description
This dataset represents the provision of 1 ton-kilometer inland freight shipping service by a liquid cargo vessel with a deadweight of 1,500 metric tons, regardless of specific river basins. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including vessel production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, and energy use and operational emissions.
The vessel has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 1,500 tons and a main engine power of approximately 660 kW, both values based on standards for inland waterway vessels in China. 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-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km freight transport services provided by liquid cargo ships (deadweight of 1,500 t) within inland waterways in China (across all river basins). The dataset covers the entire transport 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 by tanker (deadweight 1,500 t) in inland waterway areas of China (regardless of river basins). It represents a transportation service providing 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
