Mythos AI, a leader in AI-driven marine autonomy systems, has installed its Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS) on the CB Pacific, a chemical tanker managed by CB Tankers, part of the Lomar group of companies.

The installation marks a milestone in the collaboration with lomarlabs, the corporate venture lab of Lomar Shipping, and the start of a year-long trial to bring next-generation bridge intelligence to commercial shipping.

APAS is powered by a radar-first perception system that integrates directly with existing ship radars, processes multiple streams of data, and provides a single, prioritised alert to the crew.

The system aims to improve decision-making, reduce distractions, and ensure safer bridge navigation. The pilot system will undergo trials over the next 12 months to validate its performance in live operational settings, including signal processing, collision prediction, safe navigation, and COLREG compliance.

 Lomarlabs provided technical oversight, vessel access, and project support for the initiative, which is part of its deep-tech playbook to accelerate startups through embedded collaboration.

“This is one of several active commercial projects for Mythos AI and marks the first operational deployment of our APAS on a tanker,” said Geoff Douglass, CEO of Mythos AI. “Our goal isn’t to replace the crew. It's to equip them with next-generation capabilities. By integrating our proprietary radar perception, machine vision, and intelligent alerting with the vessel’s dynamics, APAS transforms complex situations into clear, actionable decisions, enhancing both safety and operational resilience.

“Partnering with lomarlabs and CB Tankers enables APAS to capture and retain the expertise of master mariners and the navigational norms of ports worldwide, accelerating the system’s maturity. Together, we are validating performance at scale and laying the groundwork for broader fleet-wide adoption.”

“Real innovation doesn’t happen in pitch decks. It happens in real-time operations, port calls, dry docks, and sea trials,” said Stylianos Papageorgiou, Managing Director of lomarlabs. “Mythos AI’s radar-first architecture and modular autonomy approach show what’s possible when we meet founders halfway — not just with capital, but with trust, time, and access to tonnage.”
