We are delighted to have successfully renewed our ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 50001:2018 certifications with DNV, reaffirming our commitment to sustainability and operational excellence. These quality standards reflect our efforts to minimise environmental impact and improve energy efficiency, aligning with international best practice. The renewal process involved a rigorous audit conducted by DNV, a globally trusted certification body, which validated our compliance with the highest standards. As DNV said afterwards: “It’s always a pleasure to see and interact with such a driven team, striving for excellence and continual improvement in an ever more complex regulatory environment.” Indeed, this achievement underscores our determination to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, optimise energy performance, and ensure we implement the most sustainable practices across our operations. Thank you to DNV and to everyone in our team, who is contributing to our work towards a more sustainable future. #ISO14001 #ISO50001 #Sustainability #Decarbonisation

We are delighted to announce that our corporate venture lab, lomarlabs, is joining forces with startup Mythos AI. Together, they are charting a course toward the next generation of maritime solutions using artificial intelligence, addressing critical challenges like navigational safety, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability. “With rapid developments that will see the commercial use of autonomous ships and the International Maritime Organisation aiming to finalise and adopt its non-mandatory Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) Code to protect safety at sea by May 2025, this collaboration comes at a critical time,” said Stylianos Papageorgiou, Managing Director at lomarlabs. “Working with Mythos AI underscores our commitment to harnessing the best in technology and innovation to create cleaner, safer, and more efficient maritime futures, allowing us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable shipping,” he added. This collaboration also signals #Lomar’s ongoing commitment to being at the forefront of transformative change in the shipping sector. By uniting our industry expertise with Mythos AI’s groundbreaking technological capabilities, we are not only addressing today’s challenges but shaping the future of autonomous and sustainable maritime transport.

Our CB Adriatic has successfully completed upgrades during her drydock and rejoined service. Like all of the vessels in our CB Tankers fleet, she is equipped with a toroidal Kappel ring-shaped propeller. This innovative design, inspired by the aerodynamics of bird wingtips, reduces energy losses and improves overall efficiency. Originally conceptualised in the 1920s and refined over decades, these advanced propellers first proved their potential in large-scale trials in 2002. Their unique structure minimises tip vortices, significantly lowering cavitation, noise, and fuel consumption while enhancing vessel power and speed. These propellers demonstrate our commitment to greener and more efficient operations, possessing, as they do, the potential to reduce fuel usage by up to 20%. This transformative technology not only enhances vessel performance but also aligns seamlessly with our broader sustainability goals, setting new benchmarks for efficiency in the shipping industry. Our #Lomar technical team and colleagues at our corporate venture lab, lomarlabs, are continuously exploring and implementing cutting-edge technologies to promote environmental responsibility and enhance operational excellence in maritime. #Sustainability #Innovation #Shipping #ChemicalTankers #CBTankers #Maritime

It was a time for celebration and a huge thank you at the INTERTANKO's Council Meeting in London, when our offshore tanker industry association bid heartfelt farewell to Chairman Paolo D’Amico, who completed his six-year tenure, and Managing Director Katharina Stanzel, who steps down after 12 years of outstanding leadership at the end of 2024. The Council confirmed Rolf Westfal-Larsen as the new Chair and Tim Wilkins as the incoming Managing Director. We wish them every success in these very important roles. During the gathering, discussions focused on key issues that are shaping the tanker industry, including INTERTANKO’s Seafarers Initiative, decarbonisation strategies, regulatory issues and geopolitical developments.
