Lomar Bulker Completes Commercial Trial of Hydrogen-Hybrid Retrofit System
A test voyage using Newlight's hydrogen-hybrid retrofit technology on a Lomar Shipping dry bulk vessel achieved reductions in emissions and fuel burn of more than 20%.
Lomar Shipping has completed a commercial test voyage of a hydrogen-hybrid retrofit installation aboard one of its bulk carriers, reporting reductions in both fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of over 20 percent.
The system, developed by technology firm Newlight, was evaluated under standard operational conditions to measure its performance in reducing bunker burn and curbing vessel exhaust output.
The trial results highlight the potential role of hybrid retrofit solutions for shipowners seeking operational efficiency improvements on existing tonnage.
As the dry bulk sector works to meet tightening environmental targets, retrofit technologies that deliver verified emissions reductions remain a primary area of testing and investment.
