The move reflects the growing role of independent assurance in naval procurement and export programmes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lloyd\u2019s Register (LR) has awarded its first Approval in Principle (AiP) for an export submarine design to Hanwha Ocean.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The AiP has been issued for Hanwha Ocean\u2019s independently developed 2,000 tonne export submarine platform, using LR\u2019s Submarine Assurance Framework. It confirms that the concept design meets internationally recognised standards and provides early-stage assurance on safety, interoperability and design robustness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
LR\u2019s Submarine Assurance Framework is designed to support navies and designers from concept through all stages of the submarine\u2019s operational cycle, including life extension, by combining naval standards, classification expertise and a structured approach to risk. \u00a0<\/p>\n
For this project, LR assembled a global team of naval and submarine specialists to support the review, culminating in a technical workshop at Hanwha Ocean\u2019s headquarters in Seoul. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The approval reflects how LR\u2019s independent naval assurance supports shipbuilders in accessing the export market. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
David Lloyd, Vice-President Naval and Government Business at Lloyd\u2019s Register, said: \u201cThis AiP issued under our Submarine Assurance Framework demonstrates how independent, outcome-based assurance can help reduce technical risk and build confidence with customer navies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe approval underlines the growing role LR has in assurance in the defence sector and reinforces our position as a trusted adviser for complex naval programmes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Il-Hong Kim, Senior Vice President from Hanwha Ocean\u2019s Naval Design Department said: \u201cAchieving AiP for our 2,000?ton submarine is a powerful confirmation of Hanwha Ocean\u2019s world?class submarine design capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking closely with Lloyd\u2019s Register, we will continue delivering tailored solutions that meet diverse national requirements and strengthen the global presence of Korea\u2019s naval defense industry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
