Description
This dataset represents the provision of transportation services for one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer by container ships in inland waterway regions (regardless of watershed). The transportation dataset covers the entire lifecycle of transport, including container ship production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions. The proportion of transportation services provided by container ships of various capacities is reasonably extrapolated based on relevant national data on container ship TEU capacity and cargo turnover in inland waterway regions, as well as available literature and references.
