[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dongmyung University is launching a project to support design technology for local shipbuilding and marine companies with a budget of 8.6 billion KRW funded by national and city governments.

Dongmyung University (President Jeon Ho-hwan) announced on the 7th that it was finally selected as the target for the '2022 Smart Specialization Infrastructure Construction Project' competition.

The 'Smart Specialization Infrastructure Construction Project' is a regional industry hub institution support project led by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. It is a project promoted to enhance the competitiveness of regional industries and contribute to the revitalization of the regional economy by promoting innovation activities of companies based on regional innovation resources and capabilities.

The Dongmyung University Shipbuilding and Marine Simulation Center (Director Park Dong-woo) was selected in this competition for the 'Physical-Virtual Linked Simulation-Based Basic Design Technology Support Project for Ships and Marine Structures.'

From 2022 for three years, it will receive 8.6 billion KRW (6 billion KRW national funds, 2.6 billion KRW city funds) and jointly promote the project with the Deep Sea Engineering Research Center of the Shipbuilding and Marine Plant Research Institute (Busan) and Busan Technopark.

President Jeon Ho-hwan said, “Based on the world-class infrastructure established in the region (shipbuilding and marine simulator, deep-sea engineering tank), we will focus on providing technical support to small and medium-sized enterprises in the shipbuilding and marine industry sector.”

The technical support platform of this project consists of individual or integrated linked technical support such as 'full-field motion simulation, computational fluid dynamics analysis, model testing, virtual operation (O&M), certification, testing, demonstration, and shipbuilding and marine equipment verification.'

Director Park Dong-woo said, “We will develop a customized technical package program for companies in the shipbuilding and marine field to support basic design technology, and by the end of the project, we will help companies enhance their technological capabilities.”

The Shipbuilding and Marine Simulation Center has been conducting a joint research project on 'Reproduction of Marine Structure Installation Work Using Marine Plant O&M Simulator' since April 2021 with support from Samsung Heavy Industries Central Research Institute.
