Description
This dataset represents the transport service of providing one ton-kilometer for a bulk carrier (deadweight of 40,000 tons) operating in coastal and offshore areas. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the bulk carrier, port infrastructure construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions.
The bulk carrier has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of approximately 40,000 tons and a main engine power of about 7,368 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 operating speed. Major emissions (CO2, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH4, N2O, etc.) are determined according to marine fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port infrastructure, data are derived through reasonable extrapolation based on global port-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 ton-kilometer for a dry bulk carrier (deadweight of 40,000 tons) in China's coastal and offshore regions. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of the dry bulk carrier, port construction, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services using dry bulk carriers (deadweight 40,000 t) in coastal/marine areas of China. This represents a transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
