Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of providing 1 ton-kilometer using a dry bulk carrier (deadweight of 60,000 tons) operating in coastal and oceanic areas. The transport dataset covers the entire life cycle of transportation, including the production and maintenance of the dry bulk carrier, port construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions. The deadweight tonnage (DWT) of the dry bulk carrier is approximately 60,000 tons, and the main engine power is approximately 8,280 kW, both values referenced from Chinese maritime vessel standards and related literature. 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 marine fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port infrastructure, data is reasonably extrapolated based on global port-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 t·km by a dry cargo ship (deadweight 60,000 t) in coastal and offshore areas of China. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the dry cargo ship, port construction, energy use, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using dry bulk carriers (deadweight 60,000 tons) in coastal and offshore areas of China. This service provides the transportation of one ton over a one-kilometer distance, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
