This category is deprecated. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodologies for ship freighting can now be found /here

The AMEE category /transport/ship/generic/freight/ghgp/other contains data on the greenhouse gas emissions associated with ship transported freight in the US, sourced from the World Resources Institute Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP).

To use this category, select the type of ship using the type drill down option, and specify the size using the size drill option.

Next, specify the distance and mass of the freight transported by setting the distance and mass profile item values. The returned value represents the mass of CO₂ emitted in association with the specified freighting. In the GHGP subcategories the returned value also incorporates CH₄ and N₂O emissions, all expressed together as the mass of CO₂ which would provide an equivalent global warming effect.
