Sister ship scaling will use the coefficient for
the ship selected as sister ship.
Sister ship scaling with trend will use the coefficient for the ship selected as
sister ship, but adjusted according to the trend in the regression line.
By clicking the Calculate button the calculation is executed and the results will
