"We concluded the agreement of cooperation with the graduate school of information security of Korea University, entering upon development of vessel cyber security technologies to strengthen the cyber security of such vessels which are equipped with the super-connection network," Sung-geun Lee, CEO of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, said on July 17, 2020. Cyber security technologies are for protecting internal and external networks connected a high-tech vessel during a mission against cyber attack. If the vessel is damaged by such an attack, there will be huge loss of lives and assets, not to mention revealing military secrets. "Smart Navy" the ROK navy pursues is the future strategy to utilize a range of technologies based on the Fourth industrial Revolution in reforming the navy into the powerful force with the solid high-tech foundation. For its success, it is inevitably important to strengthen the cyber security technologies. For this reason, strong attention is given to the first trial of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering toward the research development for high-tech vessel cyber security. The company, together with Korea University and small hidden champions, launched a research group for vessel cyber security and confirmed its plan for continuous research development. During the workshop held on July 14, presentations were made for research results on cyber security for integrated navigating platform, integrated communication system, and response system of the Moth Unmanned Air Vehicle, with participation by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, Korea University, and the small hidden champions, Marine Electronics, Seanet, and Daeyang Electric. In-sang Yoon, managing director for special ship design of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, said "We will make the best effort to fully protect our vessels against cyber attack, by applying the cyber security technologies presented today as well as the advanced technologies that we are developing in collaboration with industries, academia, and research institutions to the KDDX (Korea's smart destroyers) and our navy's smart vessels." Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering to utilize its self-developed reliquefaction system for LNG-FSU Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, in June 2020, applied its own reliquefaction system to two LNG-FSU (Liquefied Natural Gas Storage and Floating Transshipment Unit) vessels scaled at 360,000 ㎥ for which a Russian shipowner placed an order. The natural gas reliquefaction system enhances the operation efficiency of LNG-FSU and LNG cargo vessels by re-liquifying the natural gas that is automatically vaporizing in a cargo tank during the unit operation and putting it again into the tank. The reliquefaction system developed and applied this time is named NRS® (Nitrogen Refrigerant System) that utilizes nitrogen as refrigerant for the maximum collection of LNG cold energy for the best efficiency. In addition, supported with its own design, the company is expected to contribute to enhancing Korean industry in the sector of tools and materials. This provides the first example that applies key equipment of Korean technology to the Offshore Platform. Samsung Heavy Industries to prepare for the future of 10 years with fuel cell vessels - Concluded agreement on collaboration in developing fuel cell shipment with U.S. Bloom Energy Corporation - Its success to develop world's first fuel cells for oil tankers will continues to LNG carriers and shuttle tankers - IMO to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% before 2030... Fuel cell shipments to be in the limelight as the best available option Samsung Heavy Industries spurs development of the fuel cell for shipments as part of its effort for taking a leading position in the future environmental-friendly ship market. On the 30th, the company announced that it concluded the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) for developing the fuel cell for shipments with Bloom Energy (USA), the global fuel cell manufacturer. Ho-hyun Jeong, head of technology development at Samsung Heavy Industries, and KR Sridhar, Bloom founder and Chief Executive Officer, had a virtual agreement ceremony by connecting the Samsung dockyard of Geoje in South Korea and the headquarters of Bloom Energy, Samsung Heavy Industries will promote the joint development with Bloom Energy that has successfully commercialized the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) for the first time in the world. It plans to secure more key technologies for fuel cells by 2022 that can be applied to its major products, LNG carriers and shuttle tankers, aiming to strengthen its competitive advantage for environmental-friendly shipment technology. Prior to concluding the agreement, both companies obtained the world's first Approval in Principle last September for crude oil carriers applied with a fuel cell from DNV GL, the Norway-Germany Register of shipping. Fuel cells have a great generation efficiency with the particular advantage in reducing environmental pollutants such as sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and GHG (CO2). For this reason, they are considered as the optimized, environmental-friendly energy source for future generations, to replace ship propellers and generators of past internal combustion shipments. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) set the obligations to reduce GHGs emissions from shipments by 30% before 2025 from the level of 2008. The organization, during the 27th meeting of its Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) in 2018, provided the vision saying "strict and rapid implementation of reducing GHGs emissions from shipments" and currently reviewing the tighter regulations for the reduction by 40 % before 2030 and 70 % before 2050. Hae-ki Jang, vice president of shipbuilding & drilling sales engineering said "With the stricter environmental regulation, the trend to break from conventional ship fuels will accelerate." He also highlighted that "The fuel cell shipment technology of Samsung Heavy Industries will be the safest and the most economic, environmentally-friendly solution for the future shipping industries." Dr. Sridhar also emphasized that the technology collaboration with Samsung Heavy Industries will provide us with ways for achieving both emissions reduction and clean energy development. Hyundai Heavy Industries Group acquired the world's first "Approval in Principal (AiP)" for a Korean commercial liquefied hydrogen carrier Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering and Hyundai Mipo Dockyard received the approval in Principal (AiP) for the commercial liquefied hydrogen carrier with a scale of 20,000 ㎥ that they jointly developed with Hyundai Glovis, by the Korean Register of shipping (KR) and the Liberian Register of shipping. The AiP from a register of shipping is to verify suitability and safety of the basic design for a shipment and provides the foundation for a shipbuilding company to start the operation. This serves as the technology standard for the following design process as it approves the basic steps required for shipbuilding. This shipment approved this time is the world's first large-sized liquefied hydrogen carrier ready for actual navigation with the specific characteristic of the double-structured vacuum insulation tank that can minimize the hydrogen boil off gas (BOG) occurring during the navigation. It is also equipped with the electric proportion and thus can utilize the hydrogen boil off gas as the source material of fuel cells. Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) Setting about technology development for advance in the future generation's PNT (Positioning, Navigation, Timing) - Undertook technology development of high-precision PNT with the error bound of 10 cm or less - Aim to provide the service for actual use from 2025 Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) President Boo-ki Kim announced on June 24, 2020 that it has undertaken the "project for technology development to make progress in the PNT (Positioning, Navigation, Timing) of the next generation" to ensure its high accuracy and reliance on the ocean. With the recent continuous international discussion about the maritime autonomous surface ship, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) encourage to reduce the error bound of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to 10 cm or less which is hundredth of current 10 m. In addition, when it is not available to use such systems due to radio disturbance or other external factors, they recommend to ensure the error bound of 10 cm or less by using supplementary positioning systems. Following the advice, different countries across the world including the USA, EU, China, and Japan show active movement in commercializing the technology that provides stable positioning information, using GPS-based location information services in precision of centimeter and ground wave navigation system. KRISO was selected as the supervising institution for the "project for technology development to make progress in the PNT (Positioning, Navigation, Timing) of the next generation" that the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries ordered. A total budget of KRW 27 billion will be allocated for five years starting from this year, aiming at developing the technology for Ground Wave Integrated Navigation that can ensure the error bound of 10 cm or less even with the external factor of GPS radio disturbance so as to provide high-precision location information on the coasts in South Korea. The Ministry installed "Maritime PNT Research Team" in the KRISO building for the efficient implementation of the project and conducted a signboard hanging ceremony on the 24th. The Maritime PNT Research Team plans to enhance the technology performance by the real sea demonstration in addition to developing key techniques for next generation's PNT service in collaboration with KRISO. They will also make efforts for international standardization of the technologies that they develop. The Team expects that comercializing the next generations' PNT services will contribute to preventing accidents and vitalizing the economy in the maritime sector, together with unmanned ships, maritime autonomous surface ship (MASS), smart shipping harbors, and other new technologies in the maritime field. This is because all of them will help to offer accurate information for vessel navigation, harbor berthing, and automatic cargo handling at harbors. President Kim of KRISO said "we will make the best effort for success in the R&D of PNT service that will support safe navigations and accelerate the commercialization of smart shipment technologies including unmanned ships and MASS." KRISO to set about developing technology for reducing underwater radiated noise from shipments Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) has started developing the technology to reduce underwater radiated noise of shipment, responding to the regulation for marine environment protection of Korean shipbuilding companies and the IMO (International Maritime Organization). The underwater radiated noise refers to the notice disseminated in the water after occurring from the machinery and propellers equipped in shipments. Recently, as shipments becoming larger and faster, there is a grave concern about the issue of underwater radiated noise causing underwater ecosystem disturbance. In particular, dolphins and marine mammal species are exposed to severe damages. Currently, international organizations including the IMO have discussions on the noise and the industries devoting all their energy strength for developing relevant key technologies. Accordingly, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy enters upon developing technologies to monitor and reduce underwater radiated noise from shipments, reacting to the regulative situation. The project has a budget of KRW 5.8 billion for research by 2023 and its participants from the shipbuilding industry including Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, Samsung Heavy Industries, Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, with the leading role of KRISO. The project goals are to develop technologies for shipments to conduct ordinary monitoring on their own noise and to reduce propeller noise, which is the major concern.
