Description
This dataset represents the provision of one ton of freight transport service over a 1-kilometer distance by a tanker (deadweight of 10,000 tons) operating in coastal and oceanic areas. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including tanker production and maintenance, port construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions.
The tanker has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 10,000 tons and a main engine power of approximately 2,880 kW, with these values referenced from Chinese maritime vessel standards and related sources. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operating 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-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km transportation services for liquid cargo ships (deadweight of 10,000 tons) in China's coastal and offshore areas. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of liquid cargo ships, port construction, and energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using a tanker (deadweight of 10,000 t) in China's coastal and offshore waters. It represents transportation services for one tonne over a distance of one kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel operates on diesel fuel.
