Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of providing one ton-kilometer using a dry bulk cargo vessel (deadweight of 10,000 metric tons) operating in coastal and maritime areas. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including the production and maintenance of the dry bulk cargo vessel, port infrastructure construction, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions.
The vessel has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of approximately 10,000 tons and a main engine power of about 2,060 kW, values based on Chinese maritime vessel standards and related references. 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 estimated according to marine fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port infrastructure, data are reasonably extrapolated based on global port information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents a 1 t·km transport service provided by a dry bulk carrier (deadweight 10,000 t) in China's coastal/maritime regions. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the dry bulk carrier, port construction, and energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using dry bulk carriers (deadweight of 10,000 tons) in coastal and offshore areas of China. It represents a transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
