Cooperation on advanced shipbuilding technology between HD Hyundai and Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (HII) is gaining momentum. HD Hyundai said on the 5th that it has launched a pilot project to improve shipyard productivity at Ingalls Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of HII, the largest defense shipbuilder in the United States.
The project follows a memorandum of understanding the two companies signed at the Sea-Air-Space exhibition held in Washington, D.C., in April last year.
As the first stage of the pilot project, HD Hyundai will introduce its self-developed intelligent welding system to Ingalls Shipbuilding. The field-tested technology, already in actual use at shipyards within the group such as HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, automatically recognizes the work target and conditions, then adjusts the welding position in real time.
HD Hyundai is expanding shipbuilding cooperation with the United States in multiple areas, from naval vessel maintenance and repair to research and development and shipyard modernization. Last month, it signed a formal contract with Siemens AG to introduce a next-generation marine platform, and also signed an MOU with Fraser Industries on shipyard modernization.
