It’s a chicken-and-the-egg situation, because the people that are going to make multi-billion dollar investments into the future fuels, they want certainty that there’s demand, and the ones that are contracting ships, they want to make sure they have fuel available for the ships to sail,” Mediterranean Shipping Co. Chief Executive Office Soren Toft said.
Yes the same old circular argument, round and round in circles.
No doubt the same is being said at the conference JM is attending.
From the conference Vince, sounds like they've cracked it
Shipowners and operators at the forefront of alternative fuelling were keen to make the investments necessary to help fuel providers make their next moves.
With many future fueling options — and their associated pros and cons — panellists at TradeWinds' Green Seas Fuel Forum in New York on Thursday said they wanted to put the “chicken and egg” problem to rest.

JachG.Who were the panelists ?
Jackg....thanks for the link.
"JachG.Who were the panelists ?"
HF,
it was Dear Leader plus a few other B-Grade actors.
Aussie.
The only important speaker there really is the guy from MAN. If JM has spoken about the test results with Wartsilla then it might be of interest to him at a later point.
But again its just a lot of bluster and greenwashing until we have evidence that the chicken and egg problem has been solved ( and it will only do so with an announcement of a fuel supplier) then its buisness as usual.
Its down to MSC to show really it is committed. The Leandra needs to get into dry Dock and and get sorted and ultimately they have to pressure the likes of Shell to say we really want this as part of our solution mix.
The fact that negotiations have been taking place since last July says a lot.
Yeah, not sure we should be measuring millions of gallons of discharge by Pellegrino bottles but we all know that and it's the clever turn of phrase that is why people like that make the big bucks.
I take it his point is that people drink Pellegrino and nobody does from it, and Scrubber Sulphur discharge is just a very tiny drop in the ocean in comparison.

** nobody dies from it **
Yeah yeah nobody died from baked beans either but it may not be the best to sail around the world dumping thousands of tons of it into the deep blue. That said, he's correct, sulfur in these concentrations is a natural part of marine biosystems and is not a pollutant.
Sulphur from ships is the least the ocean has to worry about ....
