An insight into the ongoing testing at QRF ahead of the upcoming MSC vessel trials.
2016-2017: Operational trial supplying MSAR® to Maersk’s operational 52,000DWT/4,300TEU
container vessel the Seago Istanbul. MSAR® was produced at Cepsa’s Refinery Gibraltar San Roque
in Spain in commercial quantities to fuel the 68MW main engine.
The operational trial involved:
• The production and supply of 7,000 tonnes of MSAR® at the refinery, from visbreaker residue
(see refinery case study) derived from a variety of opportunity crudes. Production occurred
over 6 campaigns and over an 8-month period.
• Loading onto a bunker barge at the port of Algeciras, and transfer to the Seago Istanbul.
• Seago Istanbul, an operational containership in normal service, completed ~1,500 MSAR®
running hours, following its normal route and re-fuelling with MSAR® at Algeciras
approximately every 6 weeks.
The MSAR® fuel performed well and feedback from Wärtsilä and Maersk was very positive. As a
result of the successful operational trial, Quadrise received an interim Letter of No Objection
(LONO) for MSAR® for Wärtsilä RT-flex96C-B engines.
I too would be astonished for the agreements to be signed Q1, given that it’s all but done.
I would also hazard a guess that the signing of the agreements for Cargill to supply the worlds biggest shipping company to trial a fuel which can reduce shipping emissions by up to 50 percent to be a big deal, a date would need to be set for the three heads of the companies to sign in front of the media, the date is anyone’s guess

In our view, underlying market conditions for Quadrise’s technology (emulsifying heavy fuel and biofuel to lower marine shipping emissions) remain compelling, and its technologies remain innovative and viable long-term options for the marine industry.” says Andrew Keen, head of industrials, energy, and resources at the Edison Group.

Quadrise CEO, Jason Miles, and Chairman, Andy Morrison, will be hosting an Investor Meet Company webcast at 11.00am on Tuesday 26 March, following the publication of the company’s interim results.
Maybe Maersk tankers are wanting they're 2 bobs worth.

Geneva) February 23, 2021 — Cargill and Maersk Tankers are embarking on a strategic partnership to combine their bunker volumes, offering a new bunker procurement service to tramp shipping companies and trading houses. The initial goal is to procure bunker fuel for Cargill and Maersk Tankers’ combined fleet, while aiming to attract additional customers in the coming months. The service will leverage Cargill’s in-house bunker expertise and Maersk Tankers’ commercial and operational capabilities and will launch on April 1, 2021.
Another shipping company involved in getting these fuels through testing wouldn’t be a bad idea, MSC are holding out for something, probably financially related, get the permits sorted if not already done and get Cargill to go a step further and offer up a ship to carry out testing, two birds, one stone.

Mammoth company to be collaborating with, partnering with Cargill is also partnering with they’re partners, truly global.

She said she has never had a shipper express willingness to pay a higher price to book cargo on a vessel powered by renewable fuel.
If you put these pieces together, it looks like the effort to decarbonize supply chains is in its infancy. Decarbonization is likely to significantly raise the cost of transporting freight, and there is still considerable reluctance to recognize that.

With nearly 99% of the global shipping fleet still sailing on fossil fuels, action will need to be taken across the industry to meet new regulatory requirements.

Be interesting to know what is holding up the Cargill, MSC agreement. I’m sure once this milestone is achieved we will pick up momentum. Jason did mention Q1 for drydocking so hopefully when she gets back to the Mediterranean we will see signs of her coming off the current schedule
