Deman...Once Mac 2 have the Biomsar permits which we were told they were expected soon site preperation will take place. See the below :
During 2022 MSC requested that bioMSAR™ was incorporated into the vessel trial programme, and as a result, further tests needed to be carried out together with Wartsila, the engine manufacturer. MSC also purchased and renamed the Seago Istanbul, that is equipped with an MSAR® fuel system and completed vessel upgrades to enhance their fleet. There have clearly been some delays to the originally anticipated timeline, but we have now secured a biofuel supply partner (Cargill) and bunkering facility (MAC2), and are now at the stage of finalising binding agreements between the key trial parties including MSC. We now expect site preparation work in Q2 2024 and trial to commence in Q3 2024.
