Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Delivers World's Largest Container Ship to HMM

[Asia Economy Reporter So-yeon Park] Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has completed the delivery of the world's largest container ship equipped with advanced features.

On the 22nd, DSME announced that it delivered a 24,000 TEU ultra-large container ship equipped with its independently developed smart ship solution 'DS4® (DSME Smart Ship Platform)' to HMM on the 22nd.

This is the first of a total of seven ultra-large container ships that DSME is building for HMM. DSME plans to complete the sequential delivery of all seven ships by the third quarter of this year.

The series of seven ultra-large container ships are equipped with the smart ship solution. Shipowners can remotely diagnose key systems such as the main engine, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system, and refrigerated containers while the ship is underway, supporting onboard maintenance and repair operations.

The ships are equipped with a 'smart navigation' system that proposes optimal sailing routes to reduce operating costs, and by utilizing the 'smart platform' with open Internet of Things (IoT) technology, they can easily connect and be compatible with various software.

A DSME official stated, "Even after the delivery of the ship, we plan to continuously monitor overall operations in collaboration with the shipowners and upgrade the system," adding, "We will further strengthen our position as the global leader in this field through the development of smart ship technology that can lead the market."
