The International Maritime Organization has released interim guidelines for ammonia as a marine fuel, yet comprehensive standards for toxic ammonia effluent management remain lacking. This gap has prompted the Korean Register to collaborate with various organizations to establish safety and discharge standards, addressing urgent needs in ship design and environmental management.
Korean Register (KR) has partnered with Avikus, LAB021, Mapsea, and Marineworks through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance digital transformation in the maritime sector. This collaboration aims to develop advanced digital solutions, focusing on smart, autonomous, and low-carbon technologies to improve ship operations and meet global decarbonization standards.
KR, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE), HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HD HHI), and HD Hyundai Marine Solution (HD HMS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a ship education and training program based on extended reality (XR) at HD HHI’s Digital Convergence Center (DCC) in Ulsan, South Korea.
