Hanwha Ocean is expanding its naval and marine MRO capabilities, which it has built around the Hanwha Ocean Geoje Shipyard, to Jeju Province. The company plans to apply a proximity support model that places maintenance support bases near the areas where vessels and eco-friendly ships are actually operated.<\/p>\n
Hanwha Ocean announced on the 26th that it recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Jeju National University (JNU) on technology development and research exchange in the field of eco-friendly marine MRO. Yang Deok-soon, president of JNU, and Auh Sung-chul, head of Hanwha Ocean’s Special Ship Business Division and president, attended the signing ceremony.<\/p>\n
MRO is a business that provides parts supply, performance upgrades and technical support throughout the operating life of a vessel or ship. Hanwha Ocean has built up maintenance capabilities and a supply chain centered on the Hanwha Ocean Geoje Shipyard and partner companies in South Gyeongsang Province. This agreement is intended to extend that cluster-based capability to support operating sites in other regions.<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, the two sides will cooperate on identifying research projects related to marine MRO, exchanging technologies, fostering the marine MRO industry and strengthening regional competitiveness. They plan to establish an industry-academia research and development system that can be applied directly on site, as demand grows for more advanced maintenance technologies amid tighter environmental regulations and the expansion of eco-friendly marine industries such as offshore wind power. In the long term, they aim to broaden cooperation to include local governments, research institutes and regional companies, creating a Jeju-style marine MRO ecosystem in which the private sector, the public sector and academia all take part.<\/p>\n
The reason Jeju Province was chosen as the base is the Navy’s pilot project for privatizing MRO services. The Navy is preparing a regional MRO privatization pilot project for maintenance of vessels assigned to the Jeju Mobile Fleet Command and for depot-level maintenance of Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin-class destroyers. Jeju Province is also home to eco-friendly marine infrastructure and major sea routes.<\/p>\n
Demand is rising across both the private and military sectors to reduce the burden of keeping vessels at shipyards for long periods and to complete maintenance quickly near their operating areas. Hanwha Ocean is reviewing a support system that would share eco-friendly maintenance processes and smart technology information from the Hanwha Ocean Geoje Shipyard with its local base in Jeju Province in real time and enable remote collaboration.<\/p>\n
Kim Dae-sik, executive director in charge of Hanwha Ocean’s Special Ship MRO business, said, “We have built up our MRO cluster capabilities by working closely with South Gyeongsang Province and carrying out MRO work on U.S. Navy vessels. Based on this shared-growth model, we will go anywhere that has eco-friendly marine infrastructure and vessels, starting with Jeju Province, to build a future-oriented MRO ecosystem.”<\/p>\n
