I bet, its a harsh environment, probably dusty too...
Long shot here being QED...
Price was nearer 2p june, with a little help from news flow to get the funding through, so x3 to recover
April to May about 1.4p, x2 to recover
Market is showing no confidence in getting over the line with the Morocco trial with 3 component failures so far which I suspect were all the pump, and a failure to progress all other news... makes you wonder why MSC supposedly bought that ship and had it fitted out for testing..?
Sounds like 3 pumps..
............................
1st pump, not named as the fault..
May,,, whilst running at 100% a mechanical component in the PHU(pump, heating unit) failed "progressively"
June,, The previous demonstration test at the client's site in Morocco was paused after a mechanical component in the ""fuel delivery system failed progressively.""
..............................
Aug, Test recommenced, 2 more pumps..
Combustion at 100% unit load was achieved, but unfortunately it was not possible to complete the test at full load due to a "progressive" decline in fuel pump performance. The pump was replaced with an identical spare unit this week, but similar performance issues were experienced at full load, indicating a design issue with the pump units at high pressure.
......................
Now they have a different design of pump....
If this stage passes it will lead to another phase of testing, which supposedly will lead to commercial contracts...
So if this pump holds and the test passes there could a sustained rise as speculation kicks in they can get Morocco over the line.. or just the relief of not having a 4th pump failing
So worth watching for a successful update,...
