This dataset represents the provision of transporting 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 1 kilometer by dry bulk carriers in coastal/marine areas. The transport dataset covers the entire transport life cycle, including dry bulk carrier production and maintenance, port construction, and energy use and operational emissions. The proportion of transport services for dry bulk carriers of various deadweight tonnages is reasonably extrapolated based on relevant national data on coastal/marine dry bulk carrier deadweight tonnage and cargo turnover, as well as literature and references.
