Research Fields
Our Think Tank Headquarters, in order to develop vessels that meet the increasingly stringent environmental regulations of the IMO (International Maritime Organization)’s greenhouse gas reduction initiative, promotes new eco-friendly and alternative fuel based propulsion systems that rely on low- and zero-carbon fuels (net-zero alternate fuels) for future vessels through both internal R&D and external corporate partnerships, as well as provides technical support to small and medium sized shipyards both domestically and globally.

Eco-Friendly & Alternative Fuel Propulsion Systems Development
Our Think Tank Headquarters, in response to the IMO’s environmental regulations, develops new propulsion systems - including those that rely on alternative fuels such as methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen, electric systems such as batteries and fuel cells, or hybrid systems - as well as designs new vessels to which those hybrid systems would be applied. In addition, for both the developed propulsion systems and the vessels to which they are equipped, utmost safety is ensured through thorough risk assessment by an authorized third party institute.
