Lomarlabs partners with BlueNose to optimize ship aerodynamics for fuel savings

Lomarlabs, an innovation arm of Lomar Shipping, has teamed up with maritime technology company BlueNose to optimize ship aerodynamics, targeting a reduction of fuel consumption by up to 5%.

Through their corporation, Lomarlabs and BlueNose aim to use AI-assisted design and advanced materials to optimize ship aerodynamics to enhance fuel efficiency in commercial vessels.

According to BlueNose, its algorithmically guided optimized structures are strategically placed at the front of ships to minimize air resistance, leading to fuel savings, lower emissions, and reduced operational costs.

The modular system is now gearing up for real-seagoing deployment following testing in simulated environments.

Léon Grillet, CEO & Co-Founder of BlueNose, said: “What started as a student project is now shaping the future of maritime sustainability. Partnering with lomarlabs allows us to accelerate the adoption of our technology, bringing real impact to the shipping sector. Together, we are reducing emissions and driving change.”

Stylianos Papageorgiou, Managing Director of Lomarlabs, commented: “BlueNose exemplifies the forward-thinking innovation we champion at lomarlabs. By combining advanced materials and AI-assisted aerodynamics design, they create versatile and lightweight structures which we are hoping
