Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 ton-kilometer for container ships (deadweight 9,000--11,000 tons) operating in coastal and offshore areas. The transport dataset covers the entire life cycle of transportation, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, energy use, and operational emissions. The bulk carrier's average cargo capacity is approximately 11,000 tons, with a main engine power of about 3,300 kW; these values are based on Chinese maritime vessel standards, shipbuilding certificates, and related documentation. Fuel consumption is calculated based on the vessel's average cargo load, main engine power, and operational 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 reasonably extrapolated based on global port-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km transportation services provided by container ships (deadweight 9,000–11,000 tons) in China's coastal and offshore areas. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services by container ships (deadweight 9,000–11,000 t) in coastal/marine areas of China. It represents a transport service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
