Description
This dataset describes the provision of transportation services for one twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) over a distance of one kilometer in inland waterway areas (regardless of watershed) using a container ship with a capacity of 200 TEUs. Port throughput refers to the total volume of cargo that is shipped in and out of a port area and handled during a certain period, typically measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). One standard container measures 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), which can be converted based on actual freight transport conditions when using this dataset. This container ship has a capacity of 200 TEUs, a main engine power of 940 kW, and fuel consumption and key emissions (CO₂, NOx, SOx, PM, NMVOC, CO, CH₄, N₂O) are calculated based on the vessel's load capacity, engine power, and operating speed. When modeling and selecting container shipping for cargo, this dataset can be used as follows: if your cargo volume is 1 m³, you will need to perform a unit conversion to TEUs, with the conversion method being 1 m³ = 0. 02594(1/38.55)TEU
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 TEU·km transport services provided by a container ship (with a capacity of 200 TEUs) operating in China's inland waterway regions (without distinction by watershed). The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, construction of canals and ports, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for freight transport services of 1 TEU·km using container ships (200 TEU capacity) in inland waterways of China (regardless of watershed). It represents a transport service providing one standard container over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transportation. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
