Robix Alternative Fuels Inc. announced that the construction of the first commercial Clean Ocean Vessel (COV) is progressing as planned. Long lead items are being received and construction of the COV unit is scheduled to begin this month at Rayco Steel Ltd, following final approval of engineering and construction drawings. A detailed construction progress report is expected in August 2014, with testing and commissioning of the COV anticipated in the third quarter of 2014.

The new systems will allow the COV to perform more efficiently with less potential future maintenance issues.
