Included activities starts

This dataset starts from the operation of a liquid cargo ship.

Included activities ends

This dataset ends with the service of transporting 1 ton over 1 kilometer by tanker within inland water regions (regardless of watershed). The dataset includes tanker production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.

Description

This dataset represents the provision of 1 ton-kilometer freight transport service by a liquid cargo vessel (deadweight of 500 tons) operating in inland waterways across China (without watershed differentiation). The transport dataset covers the entire lifecycle of transportation, including vessel production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions. The vessel has a DWT (deadweight tonnage) of 500 tons and a main engine power of approximately 410 kW, both values based on Chinese inland vessel standards. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operational speed. Key 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 1 t·km freight transport services of liquid cargo vessels (deadweight 500 t) in inland waterways in China (without differentiation by basin). The dataset covers the entire transport life cycle, including vessel production and maintenance, 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 transportation services by a tanker (deadweight of 500 tons) operating in inland waterways across China (without distinction among drainage basins). It represents transporting 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only the transportation of goods. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
