Description
This dataset describes the provision of transport service for one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer by a container vessel (700-TEU capacity) operating in coastal/marine areas. Port throughput refers to the total amount of cargo, over a given period, that is shipped in and out of a port area via water transport and handled through loading and unloading operations. The standard unit of measurement is the "twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU)", with one TEU measuring 20 feet in length * 8 feet in width * 8.6 feet in height (6.1 m * 2.44 m * 2.59 m, 38. 55 m³), this can be converted based on actual freight transportation conditions when using this dataset. The container ship has a capacity of 700 TEUs, and fuel consumption and major emissions (CO₂, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH₄, N₂O) are calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, main engine power, and operating speed. When modeling and selecting container transport for cargo, this dataset can be used as follows: if your cargo volume is 1 m³, you need to convert it into TEU units using the conversion factor 1 m³ = 0.02594 (1/38.55) TEU.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 TEU·km transportation services provided by a container ship (with a capacity of 700 TEU) in China's coastal and maritime regions. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for freight transport services of 1 TEU·km using a container ship (700 TEU capacity) in China's coastal and maritime regions. It represents a transportation service of one standard container over a distance of one kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
