[August 13, 2026] — AliciaBots, a technology startup supported by lomarlabs, the venture catalyst of Lomar Shipping, one of Libra Group’s maritime subsidiaries, was recently selected as one of six recipients of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)’s Maritime Innovation and Technology (MINT) Fund. This enables AliciaBots to develop and trial its in-water robotic hull inspection and cleaning solutions right in the heart of the Port of Singapore, one of the world’s busiest ports.
MINT co-funds applied R&D, product development, and test-bedding of new technologies in the maritime sector to support more efficient and lower-emission shipping.
AliciaBots’ technology contributes to a massive piece of the maritime decarbonization puzzle: by keeping hulls clean, its technology reduces drag, cuts fuel consumption, and lowers emissions.
lomarlabs and AliciaBots first announced their collaboration in 2023. To date, lomarlabs has supported 10+ ventures, working closely with technology start-ups to advance maritime innovation by accelerating real-world validation and helping technologies reach critical technical and commercial milestones.
