Included activities starts

The dataset starts from the operation of dry bulk carriers.

Included activities ends

This dataset ends with the service of transporting 1 ton over 1 kilometer by dry bulk cargo ships within inland waterways (regardless of watershed). The dataset includes dry bulk cargo ship production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.

Description

This dataset represents the provision of transporting 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer by a dry bulk carrier (with a deadweight of 500 metric tons) operating in inland waterways (regardless of specific watershed). The transportation dataset covers the entire lifecycle of transport, including the production and maintenance of the dry bulk carrier, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy consumption and operational emissions. The dry bulk carrier has a DWT (deadweight tonnage) capacity of 500 tons and a main engine power of approximately 360 kW, both values referenced from Chinese inland vessel standards. 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 calculated according to inland waterway vessel fuel consumption and relevant standards. For port and canal infrastructure, data are reasonably extrapolated based on global port and canal information.

Activity Description

This dataset represents the transportation service of 1 t·km provided by a dry cargo ship (deadweight 500 t) operating in China's inland waterways (regardless of basin). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including the production and maintenance of dry cargo ships, the construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.

Process Description

This dataset can be used for freight transportation services of 1 t·km using dry bulk carriers (deadweight 500 t) in inland waterway regions of China (without distinguishing watersheds). This represents providing transportation service for 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
