Given the nascent state of this market and the types of products available, along with ensuring any product does not impact on vessel reliability, potential suppliers will be required to provide trial data (of use in 'real-world' diesel engines) and evidence of current, active, use of the additive in a heavy (bulk fuel) diesel transport environment.
