HD Hyundai started as a shipbuilder in 1972 and has grown into a comprehensive heavy industry group. Based on the past 50 years of history, we are not only developing safe and eco-friendly shipbuilding technologies but also advanced solutions using AI and ICT. We are leading the marine mobility and eco-friendly energy industries, pioneering new opportunities in the ocean. We plan to lead the global decarbonization energy transition by developing next-generation clean energy technologies, expanding value chain capabilities for future core energy sources such as hydrogen, and innovating advanced composite materials.

HD Hyundai along with its affiliates engaged in the shipbuilding and offshore business is jointly participating in KORMARINE 2023, an international event attended by many people involved in the shipbuilding and offshore industry from all over the world. As a leading company in the shipbuilding and marine industry, we hope this will be a great opportunity to showcase our various technologies and establish a mutually beneficial and cooperative system with both domestic and overseas equipment companies.

Hydrogen carrier

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is developing hydrogen carriers with the aim of commercializing them by 2030. Hydrogen carriers are equipped with eco-friendly hydrogen fuel engines or hydrogen/LNG hybrid engines, as well as carbon dioxide capture and storage systems, in order to minimize environmental pollution. In addition, wingsails, an eco-friendly power source, are applied to the top of the ship, air lubrication systems are applied to the bottom of the hull, and future propellers that increase ship propulsion are applied to the stern to realize highly efficient operation.

Ulsan Taehwa

Hyundai Mipo Dockyard's Ulsan Taehwa is the first state-of-the-art electric-powered smart passenger ship in Korea that incorporates a variety of ICT technologies, with a hull length of 89.1 meters, a width of 12.8 meters, and a capacity of 300 passengers. The Ulsan Taehwa is equipped with an LNG dual-fuel engine system and a variable-speed DC Grid-based electric propulsion system, which maximizes energy efficiency. It is also equipped with core ICT technologies, including an intelligent integrated control system that effectively links electric propulsion and various control systems, as well as a smart solution to support ship docking guidance, along with remote control capabilities.

HD Hyundai also exhibits various mock-ups including FSRU converted from LNG carrier, methanol dual-fuel-powered containership, autonomous navigation system, marine power accumulators, and eco-friendly engines.
