I assume the forum must have reigned I it's resident nut job admin who rode roughshod over people and was un-checkecd , oh and the time a Dislike button was added to vote down people's posts.

Lol, maybe the next post.

Sorry,I meant Wonga. No glasses again

Agreed Winga, it will be the report covering 2023 and so is totally irrelevant even if we get a cursory mention.

It seems MSC are exactly like Maersk in their thought processes, they really talk a great talk, great with the greenwashing at conferences telling the world what they want to hear, but as for delivery shallow as a worms grave.

The only thing I can see for the hold up is that we are negotiating with Cepsa for a tie in with not only supply to OCP, but also that MSC want some sort of bunker network between Antwerp, San Roque and ultimately with the far Eastern refinery in possibly Singapore.

So if we get the OCP trial done quickly and a letter of intent signed, that will allow Cepsa to comitt and hopefully it will start to snowball quickly from there.

Make it a reality and stop talking about it.

Right, so I unfiltered lo and behold it's the Fyoz chump, so I'll adress the point regarding MSC.

I don't believe for one minute that MSC bought leandra for the MSAR trial purposefully.

It was part of a suite of purchases on buying up second hand tonnage of which her sister ship ( was it the Bremerhaven???) Was also bought and many many more ships besides. The leandra just happened to be the ship with the Msar kit pre-installed and is thus obviously gonna be touted as being used for any potential trial.

A nice sea of green bars, wonder which tool that could be. Now let me think.

QED has everyone by the short & curlies. They know it, we know it, everything has been imminent for the past 2 years, with boots scurrying on the ground, when we all know that has been complete and utter BS.

We are trying to run before we can walk by signing framework agreements to test luxury yachts and zero carbon fuels in 2026, core projects we have been working on, are 3-5 years in the making with another 18-24 months added onto that if full production is envisaged.

Major infrastructure projects have been commissioned and built in less time than it's taken to get to where we are now.

These proactive and directors talks interviews are good for getting hopes up and reality catches up and negates everything that we are led to believe as the weeks turn into months and everything is still imminent.

The whole we were ready to sign in December line is just absolute garbage. We've had excuses of religious holidays, the financial position of the company etc as to the reason why it's taking so long.

I really dont believe for a minute that we are negotiating with Maersk to come onboard when MSC and Maersk have just dissolved their 2M alliance. So what is it .....to greedy on one side, or hedging bets as to whether another fuel is a better option.

Either way waiting for any project Morrocco 5 years, MSC 3 plus years, Utah 3 plus years is truly tedious and if one ever gets over the line....I'll have to much investor fatigue to actually give a S##T tbh.

The fact that people are still discussing a trade from yesterday, just shows how riveting today's RNS was and the fact that our key projects are now just getting damned tedious is an understatement

More posts than trades shows the market sees this as the usual window dressing hiding bugger all of substance to get thrilled about.

If you borrow Porsche Boy's crystal ball, you could probably peer into next week to tell us it might be forth coming.

Always something in the future, far and away from where we are now. Anything but on the so called important projects that we are all waiting for. No doubt the usual puppy dogs will be bouncing around all over this.....giddy up Qed, giddy up.

Once again it seems to me that Msar is having to jump through a lot more hoops than these other net zero fuels which are equally untested. Yes we all know that it's because of Msar's water content,but it seems to me that Ammonia and Methanol are politically at least being given a pass Go and collect £200 clauses to expedite certain vested interests.

The overall message coming out of MSC whether cruise or container division through the myriad of conferences with Bud Darr prattling on about what needs to be done is completely at odds with real world information with what MSC are actually doing in the real world, which by the looks of it from out point of view is not a lot.

You only have to compare the Rhetoric to the reality to see that something isn't right

Bloomington power plant in Utah is classed as a distillate powered plant.....perfect off take for Low Sulphur Msar.

Apologies for the double post, credit to kolonik for the original post....hopefully this article means or includes QED.

Let's hope CEPSA have a big role to play in this .
