MSC Leandra there she goes12 Jul 2024 15:15
The MSC Leandra has just departed and is on it's way to Mexico. How frustrating that after 8 months the parties involved in the trial fuel agreement are still negotiating and we have missed the start of the trial on this jounrney to Mexico.
The last rns on the timing of the trial stated :
'The operational trial is expected to commence mid-2024. It will comprise an initial 1-2 month Proof of Concept ("POC") period using MSAR® and then bioMSAR™ for performance baseline tests, followed by 4,000 hours of operation (approximately 6-8 months) on bioMSAR™ in order to obtain a Letter of No Objection ("LONO") from the engine manufacturer, Wärtsilä.'
The trial is now delayed from the expected mid 2024 and it looks like Wonga could be correct with the starting of the trial Q424/Q125.
