Like I said, the usual sycophantic simps lap it up no end. Come AGM and still nothing, then they'll still see the upside regardless.

Never was Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer more apt.

That should be it isn't happening if it's not signed of by years end. Apologies.

As far as I'm concerned, the MSC trial is signed off by years end or it is happening.

With the 2M alliance with Maesk ending in February 25 and MSC going it alone and announcing new routes and shouting for fuel charges etc, if they are truly interested in trialing then it has to be in 2025 or never.

The usual Boll#£s, always at a point in the future from where we are now. Don't believe a word of it.

Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has noted that it firmly supports and commits to net decarbonisation by 2050. As a result, MSC’s fleet renewal strategy includes over 100 dual fuel LNG containerships on order and over 300 retrofits now underway throughout the existing fleet.

Well if that's the case I and probably quite a few others will not want to wait another 3-5 years of promises and fund raises for endless turns on an infinite screw, classing each turn as a step closer.

As I said, they have till the AGM and after thst I'm done giving money to this money pit.

Enough is enough, they had enough time to get something over the line.

Despite JM saying he hasn't bigged these projects up, that's exactly what he has done. The fact that months and years go by and nothing concrete sticks despite everybody being busy, with boots on the ground in which they've hit the ground running and it's all imminent because it's so close they can taste it, the reality has shown otherwise so far.

Does this situation just keep going on year after year ad infinitum, it has for the past 5 years so far.

Considering JM waxed lyrical after the last trial about getting importation clearance codes for customs and how they'd sorted it out for future reference l, if the reason is that the MMU is stuck in customs it, will be the ultimate joke of a reason to give us.

That's the trouble, JM has has said so many things over the years, none of which have come true. The market just doesn't care anymore. Even when news is released it's underwhelming.

Despite Bud Darr doing the rounds and telling people how urgent everything is and how really everybody needs to up the game, the post about MSC still being the biggest polluter and the above article shows everything in stark reality and no amount of logical argument to the FOZ and SOS will convince them that something isn't right.

MSC could well be on the track to transitioning to zero carbon by using BioMsar while BioMsar zero is undergoing testing and development , but they drag their heels, still continue to use HFO and VLSFO costing themselves financially and environmentally .

Now despite the fact I lay out my opinions and gripes logically with supporting facts and articles, THE FOZ and SOS don't come back with any decent rebuttals other than we are all de rampers and traders trying to get in at lower prices.

Well the prices are considerably lower and I still don't give a toss about buying more, because I have no positive evidence to do so.

There's a whole chasm between interest and commitment and despite the interest, reality is saying there is a stumbling block which is holding everything up. Not saying they won't trial MSAR/ BioMsar,however there doesn't seem to be any hurry to resolve the situation pronto. And there never has been despite all the BS timelines which were never on the table by JM.

But it seems to be the case with all QED projects, they are dragged out ad infinitum despite the so called interest and positive environment for Msar/ BioMsar.

Once again rhe AGM is just around the corner, nothing in the bag, despite being everybody being so busy, they'll throw us a bone as we get closer and the usual diehards will pick up that bone and run with it.

And there lies the problem, look up MSC and look under the news tab, its barren with regards to fuel solutions other than LNG, there used to be quite a few news feeds about BioFuels being part of the solution, now you see none and the fact that QED weren't mentioned in the annual sustainability report and Biofuels were glossed over, says to me that MSC are pivoting to LNG.

Think even Johnny Logan would be p##ed at singing " What's another year" waiting for JM and QED to get one of the line.

Really do wish I'd just banged it all in a Global index tracker now and never heard of MSAR, JM and Quadrise tbh.

$150 per tonne GHG levy, lots of bottom lines about to be hurt.

Absolute garbage that MSC will be collaborating with Maersk in trialing MSAR/ BioMsar. They are ending the 2M alliance in February and MSC going it alone, more likely Maersk holding up proceedings if anything.

As for trials with other operators, it will be more likely that it will be with those other operators in the New alliance operating from Feb 2025 who maybe a part of the extended trials. Namely ONE and HMM. As if they can all sing from the same hymn sheet fuel wise they can get it at discount because of the volumes being used if anything.

Still how long is a piece of string.

Again more BS from Bud Darr, no mention of the fact that MSC are dragging their heels over committing to a course of action, until they are forced to at the very last minute.

With regards to working practices I see no difference between the Maersk model and MSC, you would think Soren Toft would take a different course of action from the one he was part of at Maersk, seems to be using the exact same model. Talk a good talk, but actually do SFA and make everyone else do they work.

Bud Darr and his never ending round of tours to these green shipping conferences greenwashing MSC and no doubt taking advantage of the sumptuous dining experience at these events. Utter garbage to be ignored.

Waiting for news on somebody else's project for news because our CEO has no news on our own projects and still people just quietly accept it.

I just remember myself being so ingrained with the QFI , now QED hype. Trawling articles on various opportunities that seemed a good fit for our product. Hypothesising what could happen will happen and didn't happen.You get sucked into it. But my eyes are wide open as to the absolute garbage that comes out of QED and the reality of what is said and didn't happen.
