Cooperation between Daehan Shipbuilding and LR, for 7,500 dwt LNG bunkering ships
On August 25, Daehan Shipbuilding and LR participated in a joint development project (JDP) to develop a 7,500 dwt LNG Bunking Vessel.
Jeong Dae-Sung, CEO of Daehan Shipbuilding, and Kim Young-Doo, chief technology officer of DNV GL, signed the JDP at the Busan LR office.
According to the agreement, Daehan Shipbuilding will develop 7,500 dwt LNG bunkering ships with LR Busan and major design drawings by the end of this year from early September.
In the process of this cooperation, Daehan Shipbuilding will accelerate its sales and orders with LR's technical supports and reviews.
With the growing interest in LNG fuel, LNG bunkering ships’ demand is also expected to increase. Considering this market situation, Daehan Shipbuilding is trying to diversify its portfolio to meet the needs of the market in addition to its main ship types.
Jeong Dae-Sung, CEO of Daehan Shipbuilding, said, "Daehan Shipbuilding already has the competitiveness in the short term based on the best quality and performance in the medium-sized tanker market. To respond flexibly to future market conditions, we will secure sufficient capabilities for LNG bunkering ships to diversify our portfolio, including gas ships."
LR Technology Manager Kim Young-Doo promised, "As a high-grade LNG bunkering vessel, we will do our best to achieve the best results in the new challenges of Daehan Shipbuilding with the best partnership."
