Transport is a feature of product (or the product itself) Transport is a part of logistics. Modes of transport (and type of energy consumed):
- w:Ship (high sulphur / low sulphur diesel), (ocean or inland) Identified by w:IMO number or ship name.
- w:RORO (diesel) (Roll On Roll Off, loads full trucs)
- w:Container ship (diesel) ship
- other other merchant ships (diesel)
- w:Train (electricity or diesel)
- Lorry (diesel or biofuel)
- Truck (diesel or biofuel)
- Van (diesel or biofuel)
- Car (fuel, diesel, biofuel, natural gas, solar or electricity)
- Airplane (kerosine, biokerosine mix)
- Animal (produce)
- Human (produce, animal)
- Sail (wind)
Ecologicality of modes of transport
Sea vessels are basically very ecological even if the transported distance goes into the thousands or tens of thousands of km.
Rail traffic is practically free, at least for heavy cargo, to operate once the huge investment of building a rail network is done.
Trucks consume a lot of fuel, especially for heavy things. Studies have found that the larger the truck is, relatively it consumes more energy.
Airplane is the most unecological way to transport things as the CO2 footprint is very high for aircargo.
Figuring out transportation distances
Commercial
Non-commercial
So if you know of any open content sources to get road/railroad/ship/airtravel distances between places it would be most welcome.
Figuring out energy efficiency
From w:Energy efficiency in transport we can figure out the transportation costs are if we know the logistics route: Usage of fuel/kg/km transported for all transport types
AIS tracking services
Various ship-tracking services exist that get their data feed from w:Automatic identification systems
AIS uses w:Maritime Mobile Service Identity codegroups for ship ID
An w:ENI number (European Number of Identification or European Vessel Identification Number) is a registration for ships capable of navigating on inland European waters. It is a unique, eight-digit identifier that is attached to a hull for its entire lifetime, independent of the vessel's current name or flag. (Wikipedia)
