Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is transport, freight, sea, container ship with reefer, heavy fuel oil, cooling. The Reference Product is transport, freight, sea, container ship with reefer, heavy fuel oil, cooling. This is delivering the service of transportation of 1 metric ton across the distance of 1 km. This service only considers the transportation of goods stored in containers with a cooled and controlled atmosphere. The ship operates with heavy fuel oil, in an average container ship speed of 26 km/hour. The DWT (load capacity) of the container ship is 43,000 tonnes, and it is estimated to transport an average of 7,200 million tonne.kms per year for 25 years. The transport node indirectly considers empty trips (if any) by taking into account the total amount of freight transported throughout the lifetime of the mobile infrastructure. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
