New Jobs and Cheaper Prices

ShippingEfficiency.org is an initiative launched by the Carbon War Room and industry-leading partners to increase information flows around international shipping's energy efficiency and ultimately help reduce the environmental impacts of the world's shipping fleet.

We understand that shipping is a highly efficient form of transport, but it is also, according to independent analysis from management consultants Booz & Co., "the largest potential energy efficiency opportunity in the transportation sector where new financing models will make a difference."

ShippingEfficiency.org enables anyone with access to the internet to tell an efficient, low-emission ship from an less efficient one, for the first time. Using a simple search function, users can pull up an A to G rating for around 60,000 existing ships, including the majority of the world's container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, cargo ships, cruise ships and ferries.
