55A Net‑tonne‑kilometres of bulk freight water transport
(1) Net‑tonne‑kilometres of bulk freight water transport that: (a) result from carrying on the bulk freight water transport activity at the facility; and (b) relate to the covered emissions of the facility; and (c) are not counted for the mixed passenger and freight water transport production variable in section 55 of this Schedule. (2) The metric in subsection (1) is applicable to a facility that: (a) transports bulk freight by water (the bulk freight water transport activity); and (b) is in the water freight transport ANZSIC industry classification and code 481. (3) The default emissions intensity is 5.39 × 10‑6 t CO2‑e per net tonne‑kilometre. (4) The relevant kilometres must be measured: (a) using the actual distance travelled and recorded on a ship for a voyage; or (b) by using an internationally accepted standard distance between the two ports on a voyage. (5) In this section:
net‑tonne‑kilometres, of bulk freight water transport, are the tonnes of the bulk freight carried on board a ship for a voyage multiplied by the kilometres of the laden voyage.
