Description
This dataset represents the provision of 1 ton-kilometer inland waterway freight transport service by a dry cargo vessel with a deadweight capacity of 5,000 metric tons, regardless of specific river basins. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the dry cargo vessel, the construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions. The vessel has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 5,000 tons and a main engine power of approximately 1,320 kW, both values based on Chinese inland waterway vessel standards. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operational 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 information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents transportation services of 1 t·km provided by dry cargo vessels (5,000 tons DWT) in inland waterways of China (all basins combined). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including vessel production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight service by dry cargo ships (deadweight 5,000 tons) in inland waterways of China (regardless of specific basins). It represents the transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The ship uses diesel fuel.
