Notes

  1. 1.

    This is the total weight (tons) that a given ship can safely carry. It includes payload (cargo), fuel, water, supplies, crew, etc.

  2. 2.

    Equivalent RPKs are regarded as the sum of RPKs and RTKs (Revenue Ton Kilometers) (1 RTK = 10 RPK).

  3. 3.

    The average growth rate of APT demand over the entire time horizon is about 3.2 %, which is similar to the growth rate of 3.1 % over the 1990–2050 period in one of the scenarios of the air traffic growth developed by IPCCs. This rate produces a total of about 16.5 trillion RPKs in 2050 and 26.02 trillion RTKs in 2065 (IPCC 1999).
