Description
The dataset represents the provision of 1 ton-kilometer freight transport service by a liquid cargo vessel (deadweight of 2,000 tonnes) operating in inland waterways (regardless of watershed). The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle, including vessel production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
The liquid cargo vessel has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) capacity of 2,000 tonnes and a main engine power of approximately 750 kW, 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, data are reasonably extrapolated based on global port and canal information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km transportation service provided by a liquid cargo ship (deadweight of 2,000 tons) in Chinese inland waterways (regardless of river basins). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of liquid cargo ships, construction of canals and ports, energy use, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services transporting cargo by tanker (deadweight of 2000 tons) in inland waterways of China (regardless of watershed). This represents transporting one ton of cargo over one kilometer, considering only the transportation of goods. The vessel operates on diesel fuel.
