Exciting developments from our lomarlabs portfolio startup, Bennu, which successfully tested its innovative #methane removal technology recently in Baltimore aboard our #Lomar bulker, SYROS TRADER. Methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gasses, is in fact 30 times as potent as carbon dioxide and plays a critical role in climate change, so innovations like these are crucial in the fight for a sustainable future. Bennu's technology uses UV light to permanently destroy methane molecules in the air, providing a powerful new tool in the global effort to combat climate change. Companies and governments can use Bennu technology to directly mitigate their own methane emissions or buy verified, permanent carbon credits to offset their global carbon emissions. For deeper insights into this game-changing innovation, be sure to watch lomarlabs' Q&A with David Henkel-Wallace of Bennu below. This successful test marks a pivotal first step in developing this innovative technology, and we’re excited to share more updates as it continues to evolve in the months ahead.

Today we celebrate #WorldMentalHealthDay, an important moment to reflect on the well-being of employees across industries. This year’s theme, ‘Workplace Mental Health’, resonates deeply in the maritime sector, where the unique challenges of living for long spells at sea can weigh heavily on the mental well-being of seafarers. For us, this is not just about a single day of recognition—it’s a reminder of how crucial mental health is to the performance, productivity, and overall happiness of our crew. Prioritising mental health isn't just good practice; it's essential for a healthy and thriving workplace. At #Lomar, we understand that fostering a supportive environment starts with small, meaningful changes. We are committed to ensuring our crew has access to the resources they need, including mental health support through the Oceans Learning Platform. Beyond this, we make seafarer well-being a priority by offering nutritious meals and a range of facilities to help maintain a healthy lifestyle onboard, foster a sense of community and help ensure emotional balance. We are dedicated to making sure our people, both ashore and at sea, are supported every step of the way. #WorkplaceMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Shipping #Wellness

We are delighted to announce the rebranding of our product and #chemicaltanker business to CB Tankers, replacing the historic ‘Carl Büttner’ name. This follows our acquisition of Carl Büttner Holding GmbH & Co. KG and its group of companies in 2022, bringing a rich 168-year maritime legacy into the Lomar family. #Lomar CEO Nicholas Georgiou notes: “The acquisition of Carl Büttner brought together companies with a shared ethos and family values, as highlighted by our joint commitment to the Achim Boehme Scholarship. We have since integrated CB Tankers into our Lomar group and look forward to continuing to build on this brand and business moving forward.” The Carl Büttner Foundation has also generously increased its funding to the Achim Boehme Scholarship, honouring our late CEO and supporting future seafarers at HSB Hochschule Bremen – City University of Applied Sciences.
