http://www.freightercruises.com/main/passenger-freighters.html
Most of today's passenger freighters are German or French owned containerships, with international officers and crew onboard, offering accommodations for 4 to 12 passengers. The average port time is one day, while general cargo ships, currently available only in two around-the-world services, have an average port time of one to four days. All offering roundtrip voyages, as well as one way or longer voyage segments
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/sealift-ships.htm
Sealift shipping falls into three broad categories: dry cargo ships or freighters, liquid cargo carriers or tankers, and passenger ships. During joint operations, dry cargo ships transport the equipment and supplies required to conduct and sustain the operation; tankers carry the refined petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) so critical to an operation's success; and passenger ships provide troop carrying (strategic or assault follow-on echelon [AFOE]) capability and noncombatant or sealift medical evacuation capability. In general, a dry cargo ship is considered to be usable for military purposes if it has a minimum carrying capability of 2,000 long tons (LT) of cargo and the ability to carry, without significant modification, unit equipment, ammunition or sustaining supplies.

Just found this on my goolge alerts:
Australian company Solar Sailor has signed a deal with the largest Chinese shipping line COSCO to fit their tankers with large solar-powered sails.
This is great news, but what's inside those cargo ships? How can we make the cargo it's carrying green too?http://www.greennetizen.com/2008/12/chinese-cargo-ships-will-have-solar.html:

Getting Propane to Consumers
How does propane get to the people who use it? Propane usually goes by underground pipeline to terminals across the country. Railroads, barges, trucks, and supertankers also ship propane to bulk distributors.
Local propane dealers come to the distributor's bulk plant to fill up their small tank trucks. These tank trucks, called "bobtails," deliver propane to large storage tanks that are outside homes. The average residential propane tank holds between 500 and 1,000 gallons of liquid fuel, and is refilled several times a year. People who use just a little propane, for a backyard barbecue, for example, bring their tanks to convenience and hardware stores to be filled or to be exchanged for full ones. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shipping's Contribution to Climate Change and Air Pollution
Large cargo vessels and oil supertankers make a growing contribution to global warming and air pollution by burning dirty bunker fuel. According to the California Attorney General’s 2007 petition to the EPA to regulate emissions from ocean-going vessels, “vessels form one of the most polluting source categories, per unit of fuel consumed.”
In all, if the global fleet of about 90,000 vessels were a country, it would be the 7th largest polluter on earth - an amount comparable to the emissions of the entire country of Canada.
Global shipping activity, as measured in metric ton-kilometers, has increased by five percent per year for the last three decades and this rate of growth is projected to increase. A government report released reveled a 1.4 percent increase in total U.S. green house gasses from 2006 to 2007, despite all efforts to clean up the air. This comes on the heels of a United Nations study showing shipping industry carbon

Ankida - The futuristic wind-powered yacht
The unique feature of the ‘Ankida’ yacht designed by Lila-Lou is that it is wind powered. In Ankida, there is a natural integration of the mast, sail and keel configuration with the hull thus moving away from a traditional centre-alignment. The vessel is made in the bow-like arrangement thereby allowing the forces generated by the rig to work efficiently for propulsion. Any modern sailing yacht of Ankidas size will rely deeply on automated mechanism. But in the case of Ankida, a magnetically levitated turbine has been accommodated at the top between the masts that supplies power for the propulsion to take place. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windmill Sailboat: Sailing Against the Wind
02.18.07Someone was thinking outside of the box on this one. The 36 foot catamaran, Revelation II, is powered by 3 20-foot long carbon fiber propellers on a 30 foot rotating mast. The windmill transmits power to a 6 blade propeller underwater, with the net result that the boat can make way even directly into the wind. Right now, you are either astonished, thinking "Why didn't we think of that before?", or your head is spinning with reasons why these boats are not currently plying the seas in great numbers. For instance, how well could such a thing possib ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
