A-G ratings on the greenhouse gas efficiency of over 60,000 ships available free of charge at shippingefficiency.org
Cancun, Mexico, Monday December 6th 2010 – Carbon War Room, a not-for-profit organization that harnesses the power of entrepreneurs to implement market-driven solutions to climate change, moved the shipping industry one step closer to a low-carbon future today with the launch of a new data hub which publicizes the relative energy efficiency of almost every large ocean-going vessel and specific data on emissions from container ships. The launch takes place during the United Nations Framework for Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) meetings in Cancun.
Before, it was very hard to tell an efficient, low-emission ship from an inefficient, heavily carbon-emitting one. Using a simple search function, users can now pull up an A to G efficiency rating for around 60,000
