The History of Seament

Seament's rich history spans over 50 years. Seament began trading began in 1961, where they made a name for themselves as the first company to deliver merchandise in their early years. The company experienced much success over the years and in 1968, was able to purchase their first vessel to increase their scope and efficiency. By 1973, Seament was trading an average of 2 million tons of cement per year. Seament began to need ships readily available to accommodate the growing company and to deliver in a timely and efficient manner.

Seament created Seabulk Shipping after recognizing the need for larger ships. Seament started to be used by major cement groups around the world, starting as a local shipping company in Greece, to a nationwide franchise. Seabulk owns and operates twelve cement shipping vessels, from carriers, to self-propelled, to non-self-propelled. During the regional oil boom of the 1970's and 80's, the amount of cement that Seament was too much for most ports to handle. To solve this problem, Seament created the concept of a floating cement terminal in 1978- this changed the cement industry forever and is widely recognized around the world for this concept.

Seament was able to help countries solve their cement shortages and became even more internationally recognized. In 1995, Seament began offering port services and in 2002, began manufacturing cement. Thanks to Alexander F Bouriand his family in this family-run business, Seament is still a widely renowned and well-respected business today, providing solutions, delivery, and manufacturing of cement.

Green Home Building Now A $4 Billion Industry



While going green may conjure images of hippies railing against nuclear power and clamoring about hybrid cars, one segment of the environmental movement is generating real green, to the tune of over $4 billion in venture capital funding. The segment known as green building—the act of committing to low-waste, highly sustainable practices in construction projects—is an industry that has generated serious investment and attention both in the U.S. and across the world.

According to a study released this month by Lux Research Group, the Venture Capital community around the world has poured over $4 billion of investment into the industry in the last 12 years. From more sustainable home building materials to home energy auditing practices, making a greener home has shown to be a lucrative investment as many believe these methods are the wave of the future. 

"Green building materials create less waste and cost less to produce, with some even being made from stuff other companies or power plants throw away," says Mark Bouri, owner of EBM, a company that creates building materials out of power plant waste. "These materials lower overhead for construction companies and governments looking to back infrastructure expansion around the world; and they reduce the creation of harmful gasses and compounds that harm our planet. It’s a win-win!"

The Lux Report agrees. According to their section on promising investment areas, the concrete production industry accounts for approximately 4% of all global carbon emissions annually. Since 2005, venture capitalists have poured $114 million into seven developers. Lux expects these materials to become the norm in geographies where rapid urban building booms are happening, such as China and India.

While green building—the process of trying to reduce environmental impact—is all well and good, analysts predict the future will be in carbon-neutral building. By adding on-site power generation and green building materials, homes can become completely sustainable without the use of natural resources. With a few limited carbon offsets, carbon neutral building would allow construction firms and local municipalities, as well as homeowners themselves, to take advantage of government subsidies, as well as lowering power bills and helping the local environment.
