HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) recently showcased its innovations in ship operation and carbon reduction during the MIT Maritime Consortium Workshop 2025, held at HD Hyundai’s Advanced Research Center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. This event, which took place from Wednesday to Thursday, brought together global shipbuilders and maritime experts to discuss advancements in the industry.
The workshop, organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, alongside Greek ship operator Capital and the American Bureau of Shipping, featured representatives from various consortium member firms and maritime researchers. Participants highlighted groundbreaking technologies developed over the past year, focusing on AI-driven autonomous ship operations, cybersecurity measures, and advancements in ships powered by small modular reactors, as well as 3D printing in shipbuilding.
Key takeaways from the forum included the implementation of HiNAS Control, an autonomous operation solution from HD Hyundai subsidiary Avikus, aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Additionally, the consortium presented a prototype AI model to combat cyber threats and contributed to the MIT Nuclear Ship Safety Handbook released in October.
Looking ahead, the consortium outlined a three-year technology development roadmap emphasizing carbon neutrality, fuel efficiency, digital transformation, and cybersecurity. Chang Kwang-pil, senior executive vice president of HD KSOE, affirmed the company’s commitment to investing in these research goals, including establishing global standards for AI-guided autonomous ship operations.
