Innovation 

Innovation drives our evolution as a modern shipping company. We invest in advanced technologies and data-driven solutions to enhance efficiency, safety, and environmental performance-delivering reliable, future-ready services in a rapidly changing maritime world. 

Laskaridis Shipping Co. Ltd. Implements 7 active Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with 

• The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)
• The University of Piraeus (UNIPI)
• The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA)
• AALTO University (AALTO)
• Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU)
• The American College of Greece (ACG)
• University of Nicosia/UNIC Athens

as well as various collaboration under NON-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) with Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore LTD (CARES), Hellenic Naval Academy (HNA) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in advanced Maritime R&D.

Marinized Fuel Cells
Proof of Concept – Proof of Value project. 
Laskaridis Shipping Co. Ltd. in cooperation with Class BV and Advent Technologies have been working since 2022 to install methanol-fueled high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells onboard.

“DIGITSENCE” EU funded maritime research project
Laskaridis Shipping Co. Ltd. is working with Academia and Industry for the development of an innovative intelligent “digital twin” of shipborne energy systems, as an integrated platform for technical, operational and commercial assessments.

SMART SHIP NOTATION
Laskaridis Shipping Co. Ltd. successfully completed the process and obtained the SMART notation for 12 vessels.

We are advancing fleet digitalisation through intelligent, automated data systems that transform real-time vessel information into actionable insight. 

Integrated platforms and continuous performance monitoring enhance operational visibility, reduce risk, and enable predictive maintenance-ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency across our fleet. 

By embedding data-driven decision-making into our operations, we are building a smarter, more sustainable maritime future. 

Fleet Digitalisation Status

• 40 fully digitalized vessels with near real-time telemetry & analytics suite
• 3 vessels under high-frequency system installation/calibration
• 10 ΝΒs with digital suites for dock/sea trials, advanced monitoring and performance verification throughout high dimensional parametrization

Fuel oil flowmeters & propeller torquemeters installed on 45 vessels. Telemetry systems on 40 vessels (engine/bridge data, real-time transfer ashore) with fleetwide expansion by 2026.

As part of our commitment to fostering innovation through strategic academic partnerships, we have established a global network of collaborations with leading universities, formalized through multiple Memoranda of Understanding.

In parallel, we engage with a broad ecosystem of academic and industry partners, co-developing research initiatives and contributing to leading scientific journals and international conferences—bridging maritime operations with advanced research and innovation.

These partnerships enable us to translate high-frequency operational data into actionable insights, supporting more efficient, transparent, and evidence-based decision-making, while accelerating our decarbonisation pathway through the integration of real-world vessel performance with advanced technologies.

In the Lavinia Innovation Centre you can find all scientific papers that our company has participated or contributed in.
