My tuppence worth is we will be double figures by AGM.

Now that will be something to belly ache about.

Https://www.seatrade-maritime.com/green-shipping/can-watered-down-fossil-fuel-and-tidal-power-decarbonise-shipping- Some 80% of maritime emissions come from tankers, bulkers and container ships and so a method of turning the large deepsea fleet into jolly green giants is necessary. With limited amounts of biofuels available, one method could be another fossil fuel treated to produce a fuel called MSAR, or Multiphase Superfine Atomised Residue.

Produced by Quadrise, MSAR and BioMSAR are effectively blended fossil fuels, 70% heavy hydrocarbons and 30% water with cationic surfactants added creating fuel droplets of between one and 10 microns, much smaller than standard droplets of around 100-microns, meaning it burns more efficiently, explained Quadrise CTO Jason Miles.

According to Miles, Quadrise has maintained a 10% price differential between HFO and MSAR, with the blended fuel reducing carbon emissions by up to 9% on two-stroke engines, but around 6% on average, and 3-5% on four-stroke engines, according to Quadrise.

In addition, MSAR and BioMSAR can reduce emissions costs, claims the company, while other benefits include a 25-30% reduction in NOx, and particulates are drastically reduced, with the fuel “burning with a white stack, like a gas,” said Miles.

MSAR was tested on a Maersk vessel, with a 96-bore, 12-cylinder Wărtsilă Flex engine, BioMSAR is now about to undergo similar tests with MSC, bizarrely on the same ship after the Swiss line acquired the vessel from Maersk.

BioMSAR has added glycerine and that improves the performance of the fuel and its efficiency.

Today they are worthless, if he does what he is employed to do they will be worth millions, as will mine be.

Happy days.

Our recent LinkedIn post has got liked up by the General Manager of Sesco Cement and Agregates and Sesco Terminals based in USA, their cement is manufactured by rotary kiln in both Türkiye and Egypt, both Mediterranean locations, a very good fit for our Med. OCP refiner if they were to come onboard. Rotary kilns proven with OCP and dry bulk shipping from Med. to USA.

Last week CEO Peter Borup participated in a panel at the 27th Marine Money Athens conference in Glyfada and shared his thoughts: 

 

“While the maritime industry now faces a world with overlapping rules regulating emissions and with no clear direction on the fuel of the future, there is still a lot that can be done by individual ship owners and operators.

 

Focus on operational efficiency, the use of everything from rotor sails to fuel saving hull paints to various fuels that reduce GHG emissions and improves fuel efficiency. MSAR and BioMSAR are but examples of such very different technologies where their effects are cumulative and together make a real difference, in reducing GHG emissions and in providing operational efficiency.

 

Shipowners are not without agency in these matters and much can be improved on each ship while the industry seeks to secure a level playing field from regulators.”

Auramarine have 30 years in the buisiness, as detailed below the are working on emulsion fuel projects, we’ve been told that they recently visited Leandra, why would MSC allow them onboard if this trial wasn’t going ahead.

Our recent LinkedIn post was liked up by an emission montoring service ceo for the first time, he is also linked to Auramarine, we could well be in the latter stages of getting these deals signed.

Auramarine Ltd we're having a strategic focus in supporting our customers in low carbon solutions from #methanol and #ammonia to #biofuels and #emulsions.

At Auramarine, we’re already delivering on this vision. From supplying the Methanol Fuel Supply Units in 2022 to launching our Water Content Analyser to prevent costly methanol contamination - potentially saving operators over €1.6 million annually - we’re developing the tools for safer, smarter bunkering. We’re also advancing ammonia fuel safety systems, collaborating on emulsion fuel projects, and working with partners worldwide to build the alternative fuel ecosystem.

Peter knew enough to stick his integrity on the line in saying the MSC / Cargill agreements plus one other shipping company would be signed within 2 months. He has only been in the job 2 weeks so a little more patience required.

560 tick ups on his LinkedIn post joining QED with some big hitters in the world that Quadrise is trying to crack. He’s definitely we’ll connected let’s see what he can do before the AGM, allot of groundwork has also been done by current staff to pave the way.

The IMC seems to be a new format, whoever thought it out needs to be shot, it’s done neither us or the board any favours whatsoever. Go back to the IMC when all was positive and forget the Q&A ever happened.

Look forward to the AGM by which time Peter has said he wants another shipper signed to the trial along with MSC trial announcement, hopefully much more in between.

Has this been done now at 5p strike price knowing news is imminent which would push the strike price much higher than 5p.

Q&A still outstanding after 11 days, not giving much regard to this, even 1000 questions will be sorted into no more than 50 generic questions, busy with other issues I would hope.

Seems the board are busy with other issues, I’ll take it.

My interest in Leandra currently was the fact that she had some conditions of class defects, this could have been affecting getting the agreements signed, she has spent around 10 days alongside at Gioia Tauro and now the defects have been rectified while she was there,( Info from Dustofnations ). so we can only hope that the agreements are signed as a result and RNS'd tomorrow morning or imminently.

From Idle to 60 Barrels a Day → Unlocking a 400-Million-Barrel Field 🔥

🌎 In the U.S., one operator faced a non-producing well with pump rod failures and costly surface equipment.

Then came THOR.

Within weeks, production surged to 60 barrels a day, unlocking a 400-million-barrel field and generating $1.7M per well per year.

Payback? Under 30 days.

This is the future of heavy oil recovery = efficient, profitable, sustainable.

Leandra has updated her AIS status this morning, she’s due to leave Gioia Tauro for Malta arriving there tomorow, she’s on the Hadria med service currently which keeps her transmitting the med for the time being.

That would be good, thank you

That would be nice HF, as for MSC, the Leandra is due to sail tonight but no sign of movement as yet, she's been laid up for around 10 days now so certainly some maintenance or remedial work taken place.

Thae Q&A is taking some time, what is the normal timescale on getting this out, seems a bit overdue.

The technology has already demonstrated groundbreaking results. In a recent U.S. deployment, an independent operator struggled with ultra-heavy oil (viscosity over 1,000,000 cP) saw production jump from 0 to over 60 barrels per day, a 30-fold improvement over the leading alternative cable heater. The breakthrough delivered more than $1.7 million in annual revenue per well, with payback achieved in under 30 days.

Leandra is still parked up in Gioia Tauro Italy where she has been since around the 27th of last month, there’s been no cranes on her for 5 or 6 days, would have to assume some form of maintenance or remedial work going on, hopefully she comes away with a clean bill of health removing any potential hurdles for the agreements to be signed.

I don’t think that the yacht trial would hold up the dynamics of the b100, Jason said trials are ongoing on static engines, the Q and A should shed some light on this and many other factors.

From the website :-

Our first fossil-free bioMSAR™ Zero engine tests have shown that a commercially competitive B100 emulsion fuel alternative is now feasible. Further testing on B100 prototypes is planned, to provide commercial bioMSAR™ Zero to our clients well in advance of our original 2030 target.
