Quadrise is making waves in the journey toward a sustainable maritime future with its recent project agreement alongside MSC Shipmanagement and Cargill. This pivotal collaboration brings together industry leaders to revolutionize marine fuels, commencing with an innovative vessel trial of Quadrise’s lower-emission fuels on the MSC Leandra V.
Quadrise’s agreement represents a monumental stride in its mission to drive the adoption of cutting-edge biofuels in the shipping industry. This initiative builds on the Leandra’s successful six-month trial run using MSAR® and is poised to achieve new benchmarks with upgraded technologies and enhanced environmental benefits. The planned proof-of-concept tests on MSAR® and bioMSAR™ will establish the performance of these emulsion fuels compared to conventional marine alternatives, focusing on emission reductions and energy efficiency. Production will leverage Quadrise’s Multifuel Manufacturing Unit, slated for installation in 2025 at MAC²’s Antwerp facility.
The subsequent operational trial aims to secure long-term approvals for bioMSAR™, potentially unlocking access to a global fleet of vessels powered by similar diesel engines. Each fuel delivery must meet rigorous commercial and environmental standards, underscoring the significance of these trials as real-world demonstrations of Quadrise’s technology.
This groundbreaking project highlights the vital collaboration between Quadrise, MSC, MAC², and Cargill, uniting expertise in emulsion fuel technology, logistics, and maritime operations to accelerate decarbonization. It exemplifies the complexities of transforming innovation into industry-standard solutions while proving the value of strategic partnerships.
Quadrise’s progress signals a significant role in shaping the future of low-carbon marine transportation. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and sustainability, the company is navigating the challenges of commercializing breakthrough technologies and steering the maritime industry toward a cleaner horizon.
