1. Please introduce your company.

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.

2. What is your company's main theme for KORMARINE?

HD Hyundai is leading the way in eco-friendly energy transition and digital innovation, shaping the sustainable future of the shipbuilding and marine industries.

Our independently developed next-generation marine battery, BADA-100, enhances safety and reliability with continuous charging/discharging, cell-to-cell thermal barrier, gas detection, and a patented lifetime prediction program. It is set to receive government type approval and KR class certification by the end of this year, with DNV certification targeted for next year as we accelerate entry into the global market.

We also provide advanced environmental solutions such as the nitrogen refrigerant-based LNG reliquefaction system Hi-ERSN, ensuring stable performance and offering digitalized total solutions. Our 115,000-ton oil/product tanker applies wind-assisted propulsion and LNG dual-fuel engines to improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO₂ emissions, while our ammonia dual-fuel vessel incorporates specialized fuel supply and exhaust systems, along with multiple safety measures to reinforce operational reliability.

HD Hyundai also demonstrates strong competitiveness in propulsion and power systems. The H54DF dual-fuel engine and HiMSEN engines represent eco-friendly, high-efficiency technology, while our 15L and 22L electronic-controlled engines meet IMO Tier III and EPA Tier 3 regulations, delivering both performance and efficiency. In addition, power solutions such as shaft generators, IMCU, Hi-PDS, and VFD enhance operational stability and enable smart maintenance.

We are also advancing in services and autonomous navigation. Leveraging our FSRU conversion experience, HiCONiS and OceanWise platforms provide real-time data collection, analysis, and control to maximize operational safety and efficiency. Meanwhile, our autonomous navigation solution HiNAS optimizes RPM and prevents collisions, contributing to fuel savings and greenhouse gas reduction.

From design and production to assembly, retrofitting, and operation management, HD Hyundai delivers unmatched quality and innovative solutions. We will continue to lead paradigm shifts in the global shipbuilding and marine industries, shaping a sustainable maritime future.
