Description
This dataset represents the provision of transporting one ton of goods over a distance of one kilometer by container ships (deadweight > 20,000 tons) operating in coastal and offshore areas. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transport, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, as well as energy use and operational emissions.
The average cargo capacity of this bulk carrier is approximately 35,000 tons, with a main engine power of about 5,210 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 calculated 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 freight transport service by container ship (deadweight > 20,000 t) in China's coastal and offshore areas. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including container ship production and maintenance, port construction, energy consumption, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight services by container ships (deadweight > 20,000 t) in coastal and offshore areas of China. This represents a transportation service of 1 ton over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only cargo transport. The vessel uses diesel fuel.
