Description
This dataset describes the transport service of one TEU over a distance of 1 kilometer in inland waterway areas (regardless of watershed) using a container ship with a capacity of 150 TEUs. Port throughput refers to the total volume of cargo delivered to and from a port area by waterborne transport and handled with loading and unloading operations during a given period. The unit of measurement is typically the "twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU)", with one standard container measuring 20 feet in length * 8 feet in width * 8.6 feet in height (6.1 m * 2.44 m * 2.59 m, 38. 55 m³); when using this dataset, it can be converted according to the actual cargo transportation conditions. The container ship has a capacity of 150 TEUs, a main engine power of 880 kW, 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 and selecting container transport for cargo, 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 1 TEU·km of transport service provided by a 150-TEU container ship in inland water areas of China (without distinction by watershed). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, 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 150-TEU container ship within inland water areas of China (regardless of watersheds). This represents providing transportation service for 1 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
