It's all about MSAR rollout. IMC questions and answers on it below.
Question 5: Relating to the MSC project. MSAR rollout post MSAR PoC completion, is this still the plan as it was not mentioned within the interim results RNS? If not, then why not, if yes, can you provide some detail on the plan once MSAR PoC is confirmed as complete
Answer 5: Yes this is still the plan, subject to securing residue feedstock supplies from refineries which is a priority for Quadrise.
Question 19: Can you confirm If MSC has informed Quadrise they`d be willing to use MSAR commercially under the interim LONO and if so how many vessels would that involve assuming agreements were reached??
Answer 19: This has been conveyed verbally by MSC that technically they see no obstacles to using MSAR, but would like experience from the Leandra V proof of concept. Commercial considerations from MSC regarding MSAR uptake will be based on availability geographically and price vs fuel oil. They are one of the largest bunker fuel consumers with their fleet of some 1000 vessels, of which 2/3 are owned by them
Question 20: Are MSC considering commercial MSAR use on completion of the MSAR proof of concept regardless of what happens with the biomsar trial?
Answer 20: Yes.
Question 27: Do MSC regard standard MSAR as their main QED fuel choice in the immediate future with bioMSAR use dependent on economic conditions going forward?
Answer 27: We believe so. Alongside economic conditions, regulatory factors linked to global IMO standards will also be an important factor for MSC bioMSAR. This is not necessarily the case for all shipping companies however regarding the use of liquid biofuels.
Question 39: Peter, you said in your interview this week "particularly MSAR offers price competitiveness, so that's where our focus has to be", so is the intention to roll out MSAR commercially once the PoC data analysis is done and the PoC signed off as successful by MSC?
Answer 39: Correct, subject to securing a refinery offtake agreement.
