What an incredible turnout at the #first matchmaking event organised by the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) for the shipping industry- it’s an honour for #lomarlabs to have been a co-organiser! Innovative maritime procurers in Greece had the opportunity to explore solutions from EIC beneficiary startups—bound4blue FibriTech Ocean Visuals COLD PAD and CorPower Ocean—aimed at supporting maritime climate action in the EU and beyond. After an engaging panel discussion, moderated by our own Stylianos Papageorgiou, our panelists— Charis Plakantonaki from Star Bulk, Angelos Tyrogalas from Contships Management Inc and Dimitris Koliaroudakis from TECHNAVA S.A. —challenged the entrepreneurs with thoughtful, industry-specific questions that reflected their deep expertise.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting bill gilbert and William Robson from NatWest's carbon market desk to dive into one of the most urgent topics in climate tech: the complexities of voluntary carbon credits (VCCs). Key takeaways from our session included: ✅ Why VCCs are essential for achieving net zero ✅ The types of VCCs and their importance ✅ Carbon credit factors At #lomarlabs we believe carbon credits represent a significant opportunity for our founders, enabling them to generate new revenue streams while driving innovation that accelerates Maritime’s journey toward sustainability.

In a research briefing published last week on #WorldMaritimeDay, our portfolio startup TURTLE reveals the alarming trends in illegal recruitment fees in the maritime industry.  Since announcing our collaboration with TURTLE in late 2023, they have been making strides in spurring diversity and mitigating the risk for corruptive and unfair recruitment demands in the shipping industry. Trusted by reputable companies like Lomar Shipping, TURTLE serves as a secure employment platform that promotes fair opportunities for seafarers while helping companies strengthen their social and governance initiatives as part of their broader #ESG efforts. #notorecruitmentfraud #seafarerempowerment #seafarers #venturelab #futureofwork #maritimeindustry

#WorldMaritimeDay is an opportunity to reflect on the critical need for maritime innovation to combat environmental challenges. At #lomarlabs, we're committed to this cause by collaborating with startups that are driving technologies to enhance vessel performance and lower the industry's carbon emissions. Earlier this month, our Managing Director, Stylianos Papageorgiou, attended SMM Hamburg, one of the world’s premier maritime trade fairs and shared his insights 👉 https://lnkd.in/d6Pef6iV #climatechange #climatetech #maritimeinnovation #lomarlabs #navigatingthefuture

We're proud to take bold steps toward a sustainable future! Our portfolio startup Bennu (formerly named Blue Dot Change), recently tested their cutting-edge methane removal technology in Baltimore, on one of Lomar Shipping’s vessels. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and innovations like this are crucial in tackling climate change. We are very excited about this collaboration which provides the infrastructure that allows #Bennu to work out in the #ocean where they can best reach the ambient methane. Together with industry leaders and innovators, we're not just talking about sustainability — we're making it a reality.

Take an inside look at Alicia Bots technology and hear from the experts themselves on what makes their robotic cleaner one of the best products in the market for #hullcleaning. Watch the full video here 👉 https://lnkd.in/d5mtg3KM Did you know❓ ➡ Hull fouling leads to 37 million metric tonnes of wasted fuel annually—costing the industry $25 billion. By keeping hulls clean with robotic solutions like the Alicia Bots, we can reduce emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and drive down operational costs. ➡ The Alicia Bots Roverclean stands out for its lightweight, portable design, allowing ships' crews to deploy it with ease. As the shipping industry faces mounting pressure to decarbonise, solutions like these will be vital in ensuring a sustainable and efficient future. We're proud to support this innovation, enabling the technology to mature and thrive.
