Expert: Scrubbers with filters better than distillates for human health http://www.passengership.info/news/view,expert-scrubbers-with-filters-better-than-distillates-for-human-health_49996.htm " Dr Zimmermann�s research showed that even small dosages of particulate matter from HFOs and MGOs equating to several weeks� exposure in a human lung were linked to cell death and saw detrimental � albeit differentiated � biological effects between the different fuel types."

To add Noose, (insert name here) Seems to now think he is 'the media'! I'm afraid in these modern times, posting on public bulletin boards, we're all part of the media, not just his Daily Mail. He's wasted the best part of a return trip to Saudi's cost in requiring the company to issue an RNS and admitted to wasting at least 90 minutes of the company's directors time in phone calls. I wouldn't refer to someone like this as 'harmless' The RNS, though costly, was absolutely nescessary and will certainly have raised some attention. Note the message from the FCA on this page... " Posting inside information that is not public knowledge, or information that is false or misleading, may constitute market abuse. This could lead to an unlimited fine and up to seven years in prison." (insert Name here) also likes to call people he doesn't agree with 'Muppets' , most amusing as he appears to be the one being worked by darker characters from behind!

You are quite right noosking, And looking at his latest ramblings he is going to get inside information from another 'source' he has inside Saudi. All of this during a time of Major anti corruption crackdown in the State. Can you type with no hands I wonder?

Pre AGM thread on the forum https://goo.gl/niJgSh My first question to the BOD (if no-one beats me to it, join queue here) " Is the Board aware of the nefarious actions of (insert name here) and his seemingly incessant efforts to attack the company on public bulletin boards in what appear either acts of mindless grievance or attempts to manipulate the share price of the company to its detriment? It is also clear in his postings that (insert name here) has contacted senior personnel in the large clients of the company and Government officials. In one recent case he has attempted to use deception by misreprentation of his interest in MSAR in his attempt to gain information from the company. Has the company pre warned other clients of this individual? This clearly, to me, represents a threat to my investment in this company, does the Board agree? " I think that's a fair question, don't you?

Good bit of publicity! https://www.bunkerspot.com/global/45092-global-quadrise-fuels-international-responds-to-power-trial-project-speculation

"�No fuel choice will avoid inevitable requirement for marine exhaust gas treatment� http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/no-fuel-choice-will-avoid-inevitable-requirement-for-marine-exhaust-gas-treatment/ In a recorded presentation from Naples, Professor Di Natale of the University of Naples undertook a review of alternative fuels. His conclusion was that there are certainly fuels which assist in reducing emissions, but, given the nature of the combustion process in a diffusion combustion diesel engine, no fuel achieves zero toxic emission. He went on to explain how the use of advanced scrubber technologies remain a necessity if shipping is to play its part in air protection and minimising the impact of emissions on human health.

Well, there we have it, short and sweet, business as usual, nothings changed, as it should be ..except that the company is a few hundred quid down for having to issue the RNS. Anyone looking for the source of the speculation will find the other two boards and find the instigators words last night.... "Have fun on Monday my "short" friend" Does this smack of a blatant attempt to manipulate the market? It will certainly look so to someone looking in!

Interesting Rob, thanks I look forward to receiving "a timely update on developments" . ...'timely' to what perchance? ;-) It will be good to catch up with some of the faces once again. No doubt the 'internet mouths' will be noticeable by their absence!

DPE, I wonder what effect this could have on final signing of agreements? Could it move things along now any barriers in the form of individuals wanting 'favours' have hurredly backed off. Could it grind everything to a halt? I thinl it'll be the former as barriers to the Vision 2030 seem to be being moved. Just this yeasterday http://www.worldoil.com/news/2017/11/9/saudi-aramco-signs-45-billion-worth-of-agreements-for-oil-gas-mega-projects More to come surely ;-)

Stumpy, that is no longer true, old facts. Since trialling in the summer months was considered a risk problem that is no longer the case. Additional power units have come on line since then, we were told at last year's AGM, and there are now 10 1MTPA baseload generators in the area to provide ample redundancy. ..Imagine if one day they were ALL burning MSAR!

Foxm, the limiting component in an MMU is, I believe, the colloid Mill. That's the part that does all the mixing of the constituents of MSAR in a very controlled manner.. This component alone is probably only the size of an oil barrel. It's probably scaleable further but no doubt simpler to fit maybe several mills into one MMU to increase the capacity (and reliability?) of a single MMU by factors of 2,3,4 etc. Maybe this explains the involvement of the US member to the triparte agreement?

Eric "A number of actions have been taken since the year end to reduce cash expenditure, which collectively amount to savings in excess of �500,000, representing 18% of the Company's annualised fixed costs. These actions are designed to have no adverse impact on Quadrise's ongoing operational and business development capabilities." At 18% of fixed costs, �500k means the costs were approx 2.8M pa. Less the �500k, this now amounts to �2.3M or almost 2 years worth of cash (lifetime without injection till June 2019) With some signed contracts (no doubt fairly imminent or why delay these results) things COULD rapidly change.

27/10/17 EU's CLINSH Project Monitoring Phase Begins https://www.marinelink.com/news/monitoring-project-clinsh430741 The vessels taking part in the project were selected by means of a European tender. They fall into two groups: vessels which are to be fitted with an emissions control system for the purposes of the project. The technologies to be tested include SCR-DPF (Selective Catalytic Reduction in combination with a Diesel Particulate Filter), Fuel Water Emulsion technology and hybrid power installations. What do we reckon then?? I've not seen Blue Ocean Solutions bragging about it.

https://theloadstar.co.uk/shipping-lobby-groups-slammed-blocking-global-progress-emissions-reduction/ " ICS, BIMCO and the World Shipping Council �have collectively lobbied to delay implementation of any climate regulations until 2023 � even then refusing to support anything but voluntary regulations that may not reduce the sector�s overall greenhouse emissions�..... ..There was, however, praise for some shipping entities, with Maersk and Stena Line named as companies with transparent GHG policies �appearing to support ambitious action on climate change�. 'Appearing', yeah clever that!

"No SPECIFIC reaaon..." So there may be many??
