If you can't see my point of view Crownos about the ability of Goodfuels to get Quick active engagement and trials up and running at pace without all the Kerfuffle that QED goes through then I'm at a loss foe explaining it anymore.

It's not about the fuel per se, its the ability to get things done quickly despite working with the big players who usually work at Glacial speed.

I'll leave it there on that one.

In reply to how many clients Goodfuels have , this was the reply on the website.

We can’t disclose the exact number, but in 2021 GoodFuels has bunkered 134 clients, including 32 night-time bunkerings.

Just for those who say it's only 21 ships it's only 21 ships.

Thst was 2021, its increased considerably since then,

Just how many are we servicing right now.....answers on a stamp.

I don't think they need to do a 4000 hr lono because the blend they do already comes under existing guidance and protocols..... I think.

What I admire about Goodfuels is they have relationships with big players and get trials up and running quickly.

All you have to do is search for Goodfuels in Google and press the news tab and you'll see what I mean.

Good old GoodFuels and Fowe powering ahead in actually making savings in GHG emissions....meanwhile we are still waiting.

No need to worry, BioMsar is on its way to save the day....sometime in the future.

Although if you were using Msar now, it wouldn't be a problem, but you're not, so it is.

I don't entirely blame the BOD hf14, I mean a lot is out of their control, they can't push MSC or Cargill to go any faster, but saying that the contracts would be signed in Dec and it was actually Feb and turning out not to be one contract, but one of multiple contracts has once again left investors and the market feeling flat.

I think the last investors learned their lesson on investing in QED when things were imminent and sold out due to under performance.

No major investor ( institutional if that's what you mean) will touch any company that does not have a market cap of 100 million. That is well known as a rule if thumb.

With fund raising still an issue and negotiations which just rumble on and on, no major investor in his right mind would take the risk unless some kind of guarantee from Cargill/MSC is made that this is defo going ahead and I'm not even sure if that's classed as inside info.

So fund issue guidance and some actual concrete news and not more of whats going to happen 3 -6 months from now is whats needed.

This cant just keep rumbling on week after week and month after month.

FOWE got their 12% emulsion fuel trial started back in 2022 with Scorpio tankers so once again its down to Cargill and MSC to show some damned motivation to get this started.

And how much would they be saving if they had started with normal MSAR first and then progressed onto BioMsar.

Honest to God these mega corps just bleed money.

We can but hope that, that's the reason the Moroccan visit to QRF is also to sign the deal as well as view the Quality control and Research facilities.

I just don't want another year of "so close we can taste it ", waiting .

Like I said on previous posts, there is never any urgency to any of these projects despite the mood music from camp QED, when you think major infrastructure projects have been planned and completed in less time than some of our projects is it any wonder people are getting tetchy and impatient.

I don't hold out much hope for Q2, more like 3 or 4

It might have been shipped, but it won't be installed unless they have received the permits.

If we are still on track for a Q2 trial date, then news needs to start dropping on all fronts, pronto.

Well we did ask for more open dialogue and I think this is a positive gesture from QED, so no complaints from me. Altho Stocky might be peeved at not getting an invite as chief Cheerleader.

Https://shipandbunker.com/news/world/924735-scorpio-tankers-entire-fleet-to-use-fowe-emulsion-bunker-fuel-tech

Entire fleet of over 100 vessels. Now that's impressive.

The article I posted earlier on MSC having 54% of ships with a scrubber. That means over 350 ships with a scrubber , using HFO.

We were told for years the benefits of a scrubber with MSAR, and yet we have to go through another POC for MSC with Msar when it has already had one with Maersk and 1300hrs operational trial.

So real savings, financially and environmentally could be made NOW, but aren't.

So based on how long it's taken for the MSC show to get on the road, you can hardly be excited for this latest news when we are looking near 2027 for any concrete news.

Don't try to run before you can walk.

Well so far AKHM nothing you have thought has happened, so we live in hope oblne day it will.

Bottom line is that QED needs to close one of these contracts, PI's and the market are sick to the back teeth of what QED are telling us they are going to do and years later we are still waiting for them to do it.
