"For the moment...we don’t prefer the scrubber solution...we are looking into LNG [and] into
different mixes of fuel.”

Change of tune.

A great piece of work by Dustofnations on the forum. Compendium of contributions from 'QFI relevant threads' in the public domain. Forum discussion for contributors https://goo.gl/jKc2t6

With thanks to Vince72 on the forum.. "Oil major Exxon Mobile has recently reported to the global shipping industry that its catalytic fines resulting from blending low sulfur are causing catastrophic damage to marine engines. After mentioning the first technical deficiencies of the low sulfur use in the marine insurance industry, the relevant technical reports appeared in the overseas classification society, and the fuel supply company officially recognized it. " http://m.shippingnewsnet.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=24953 a bit of translation may be required ;-) You couldn't make it up really, perhaps a LONO would've been a good idea :D

Its a massive multi billion game of poker being played out here and we've all been locked out of the room. Anyone who listened to the Conference Call on Monday will know there is still a strong relationship between Maersk and QFI. ...Another meeting coming up shortly. The statement that Maersk wouldn't have to do any more LONO work on MSAR was interesting too. "They have all the information they need" Remember the presentation back in early 2016 that said they would not be going down the scrubber route?.... It left Maersk with an eject button... ....Read the middle line http://oi64.tinypic.com/2s7ffk2.jpg

Worms only come up when it rains!

Looks like TOT on ii may have found it! "I see they (SEC) have just issued their financial results for the year ended 31 December 2017 https://www.se.com.sa/en-us/invshareholder/Pages/Earningsreport.aspx Now this bit.... "39% year-on-year increase in Government payables grew up to SAR 80 billion primarily due to the transfer of SAR22 billion of accumulated fuel payables liability due to Saudi Aramco, to the account of Ministry of Finance." So it seems that they were in dispute with Aramco over fuel payments and the Ministry of Finance has had to get involved if I am reading this correctly. That might just explain why QFI has yet to get their signature on a contract..."

Noose, i think we can rest assured that in no way are any of the seemingless endless delays of the fault or making of any member of the conpany in which we are invested. It's somewhere in the long chain of production, logistics and generation individuals in KSA, It could even be just one belligerant individual in a job he has inherited putting up firewalls to justify his position and standing. For want of a better name, let's call him Hamed Redknapp!

Yes folks, Alexis is off on his month long cruise tomorrow with Rob Brydon and Jane Macdonald! i wouldn't be surprised if QFI paid for it as a timely insurance policy. Hopefully they can initiate another 'buoygate' and an emergency 3 weeks stopover in Sierra Leone.

Jackg, The MMU and ancilliaries at San Roque have never shown up on Google Earth / Maps . You have to look at Google earth and view the historical imagery to see the latest pictures of there are dated 29 Feb 2016 just before the kit would have been installed. Yanbu however, has very regular updates for some reason, sometimes as short as every 2 months which allow for interesting comparisons. Not so with other KSA locations All just idle speculation of course but isn't it amazing how easily some people get wound up by it? It's almost as if they don't want to hear anything good! ..Could they be Russian spies?! Oh look! there's a Millenium Falcon!! https://goo.gl/maps/tPfDTBUnbFA2 I hear it's going to be powered on MSAR!!

Ok Google Earthists, what's going on here then?? Imagery dated 27 November 2017. https://goo.gl/maps/D2WPYLAMPin Blue containers being ofloaded from HGV trailers by cranes near the fractionating columns? (that's where the residue comes out). Jury's out but plenty more a few weeks back on the forum. Too big to be portaloos though!

Spot on Salinger, some people aren't happier when spreading disinformation. He'll be writing to the head of Aramco and getting a made up reply next!

pcjoe See this ERTC presentation Nov last year.. http://www.quadrisefuels.com/sites/default/files/2017-11/Quadrise%20ERTC%20Nov%202017.pdf "A typical MSAR� project costs around $10m" However, I don't think KSA is 'typical' as far as agreements are concerned.

Looks like there's a lot more nasties hiding inside LNG than they like to make out... https://shipinsight.com/lng-as-a-marine-fuel-its-hazards-and-benefits/ " Although overall particulate emissions were lower from LNG than MGO, LNG particulate emissions were dominated by very small (ultrafine) and volatile particles, while combustion with MGO resulted in a smaller fraction of these particle types. " Smaller particles get into the blood stream and organs. ..nice

To buy QFI at these prices I reckon... ...Also, last chance to join Brookstain on the SS Norovora to the Carribbean Loads of cabins still remaining at bargain prices MUCH less than fools pay. https://goo.gl/o1G8pa I've booked mine , next to his (hope he likes drum 'n bass!). Looking forward to Rob Brydon doing all those Ronnie Corbett impressions!

QFI doesn't leak. It's more computerised quick-buck trickery kicking in after 2 weeks stability . Back down by Thursday. More than happy to be proved wrong. Go on MK, you know you want to!

https://blogs.wsj.com/cfo/2018/02/22/maersk-expects-uptick-in-fuel-costs-due-to-new-maritime-regulations/ The shipping giant is considering passing the higher costs on to customers, Mr. Stausholm said. After years of overcapacity in the container shipping business, Maersk is hoping for better sea freight rates in 2018 and beyond, Mr. Stausholm said. Maersk should be able to offset the negative impact of higher fuel costs as long as other competitors, including China�s Cosco Shipping Co. Ltd. and Germany�s Hapag-Lloyd AG, also opt to charge customers more, Jefferies� Mr. Kerstens said. Good luck if you're a Maersk Shareholder, they're only two steps above junk already!

Joe Unfortunately, unless specifically agreed by all parties , I don't think NDAs have expiry dates.

It's been fine for me all day BP.. Possibly there is a problem with your ISP's DNS server. you could try changing the DNS server in your router to Google's https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/

John G See the QFI Website... http://www.quadrisefuels.com/msar-technology/the-benefits-of-msar "As the oil phase is pre-atomised within MSAR� to very small sizes (5-10microns) compared with atomised HFO droplets (100 microns), this increased surface area enables essentially complete combustion, leaving virtually no carbon particulates in the exhaust gases. The inherent water within MSAR� also reduces the temperature of combustion, which reduces NOx emissions significantly." As DPE stated, no technical information/ results / data was forthcoming from the Maersk LONO trials. Now, I wonder why that would be? If they were bad, Maersk would clearly have come out with them as a justification for not deciding to continue with MSAR. If they were good, It would have been embarassing to have publicised them and then said they were not continuing. I know where my money is! Remember, Maersk did say at the time that the decision made then might not be the right one in 2020! Something is still going on re MSAR in Marine, has to be.

https://shipinsight.com/scrubbers-hidden-benefit/ "All components of exhaust gas were test and while total PM emissions were generally higher for HFO than for MGO; for the smallest size-fraction measured the opposite was observed. This finding emphasises that to minimise negative health effects of particles from ships, further regulation may be needed to reduce small-sized particles but a fuel shift to low sulphur fuel alone does not seem to accomplish this reduction. When a scrubber is installed and in operation on a ship, the scrubbing action reduces not only SOx production but also captures most of the particulates of all sizes along with other contaminants.
