Description
This dataset describes the provision of transportation services for one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer in inland waterway regions (regardless of watershed) using a container ship with a capacity of 350 TEUs. Port throughput refers to the total amount of cargo that is shipped out from and into the port area by water during a specific period and has undergone loading and unloading operations. The measurement unit is typically "twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU)", with one standard container measuring 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); when using this dataset, it can be converted according to the actual cargo transportation conditions. The container ship has a capacity of 350 TEUs, a main engine power of 1460 kW, and fuel consumption and major emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O) are calculated based on the vessel's loading capacity, main engine power, and operational speed. When modeling and selecting container transport for cargo, this dataset can be used as follows: if your cargo volume is 1 m³, you need to perform a unit conversion to TEU, using the conversion factor 1 m³ = 0. 02594 (1/38.55) TEU.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 TEU·km transportation service provided by a container ship (with a capacity of 350 TEU) in inland water areas of China (without distinguishing specific river basins). The dataset covers the entire transportation 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 freight transport services of 1 TEU·km using a container ship (350 TEU capacity) within inland waterways of China (regardless of watershed). It represents transporting one standard container over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
