MSC LEANDRA
Built in 2007
Current draught 13.5m
Length / Beam 294 / 32m
Gross Tonnage 48788
Summer Deadweight (t) 53701
4504 TEU
So here is a container vessel for sale at $26,000,0000, and it's a third of the capacity of the Leandra!
Built in 2003
Current draught 10.78 m
Length / Beam 172.2 / 25.1m
Gross Tonnage 16145
Summer Deadweight (t) 20367
1541 TEU
So my list now is:
Fuel and it's production, circa $11,937,500
Leandra vessel at least $26m, but could easily be 2x or even 3x that much
Scrubber fitted, circa $4m
All of the time and cost of MSC staff to work on this project from start to finish
Looking at $40m plus, but could be as much as double that!!
That is A LOT of money to invest in these trials. You can be 100% sure that MSC want BioMSAR and MSAR, and that they are happy to spend this money having scrutinised every piece of data available on BioMSAR and MSAR performance, and the costs, logistics and other supply chain metrics for everything that goes into both fuels.
