Description
This dataset describes the provision of transportation services for one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer within inland waterways (regardless of watershed) using a container ship with a capacity of 250 TEUs. Port throughput refers to the total amount of cargo, in terms of waterborne input and output within a port area during a certain period that has undergone loading and unloading operations. The standard unit of measurement is the "twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU)", where one standard container measures 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), which can be scaled according to the actual cargo transportation conditions when using this dataset. The container ship has a capacity of 250 TEUs, a main engine power of 1,150 kW, and fuel consumption and key emissions (CO₂, NOₓ, SOₓ, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH₄, N₂O) are calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, engine power, and operational speed. When modeling cargo transported via containers, 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 the transport service of 1 TEU·km for a container ship (carrying 250 TEU) operating in inland waterways of China (regardless of river basin). The dataset covers the entire transport 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 1 TEU·km freight transport services by container ships (250 TEU capacity) in inland waterway areas of China (regardless of watershed). It represents the transportation service of one standard container over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
