Performance benchmarks

Does anyone have performance benchmarks for different types of merchant ships?. Is there anyone out there specialising in this area and if so what is the accepted method (calculation) that you/they are using. I have read that IMO are working on a carbon performance index but not finalised yet. If this info is out there could you please let me know as I am working on a project at the moment and any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Business to go green

For me the green approach for business really makes sens. I completely agree with Ban Ki-Moon that business must invest now.

I think that the companies that will go ahead and be the leaders in being green will get a more lean business. As such they will be more competitive and others will follow. Also going green makes sens from a global point of view. Not only to save the environment but I believe that the impact of business to invest in green technology can help reshape the worlds economy and… Continue

Ship of the Day

GJERTRUD MAERSK

The Gjertrud Maersk (IMO: 9197894, Port of Registry: Ringkøbing, Denmark) is a 367 meters long, 43 meters wide container vessel, capable of transporting up to 10,000 teu. The Gjertrud Maersk was delivered in December 2005 by Odense Steel Shipyard, Denmark and was then, together with her sisters, Gudrun Maersk, Gerd Maersk, Grete Maersk, Gunvor Maersk and Georg Maersk, the largest container vessel sailing. Nowadays the Emma Maersk, and her sisters, amongst which are the Estelle Maersk and Eleonora Maersk have taken over the leadership.

The Gjertrud Maersk is currently sailing on the Maersk AE-2 loop between China and Europe. She will enter the port of Rotterdam this evening from Algeciras. The next destination of the Gjertrud Maersk will be Bremerhaven. From there she will set sail for the Algeciras, Port Tangiers and afterwards the Suez Canal and South-Eastern Asia. The Gjertrud Maersk is scheduled to return to Rotterdam within two months.
