Technology Transfer of Korean Marine Equipment... Reducing Dependence on Foreign Products

[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] A technology transfer briefing session aimed at the localization of marine equipment that detects underwater obstacles or terrain and collects marine information in certain sea areas to provide data for aquaculture and marine disaster response was held on the 22nd. The Information and Communication Convergence Research Center at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology held an online briefing session for the technology transfer of the localization development of marine acoustic sounding physical property monitoring devices.

The technology transfer equipment includes a high-resolution multibeam acoustic sounding device and a remote transmission system for monitoring marine physical properties. In the case of multibeam acoustic sounding devices, Danish products occupy 95% of the South Korean market. The center expects that if technology transfer is achieved following this briefing, it will replace imports worth more than 10 billion KRW annually for similar equipment and more than 30 billion KRW for related devices. It also anticipates the possibility of entering overseas markets worth over 500 billion KRW annually.
