Description
This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 ton-kilometer provided by a container ship (deadweight 6,000--7,000 tons) operating in coastal and offshore regions. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port infrastructure construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions.
The average cargo capacity of this bulk carrier is approximately 6,400 tons, with a main engine power of about 2,032 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 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 is reasonably extrapolated based on global port-related information.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km of transportation service provided by a container ship (deadweight 6,000–7,000 tons) in coastal and offshore regions of China. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port infrastructure construction, energy use, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight transport services by container ships (deadweight 6,000–7,000 t) in China's coastal and maritime regions. It represents a transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
