The content included reviewing the possibility and eco-friendliness of HDPE (eco-friendly plastic) shipbuilding and introducing domestic fishing vessel technology development trends according to eco-friendly policies.

Additionally, the seminar discussed measures to promote and spread eco-friendly ships in Jeonnam and introduced corporate support programs and related projects for the development of the shipbuilding and marine industry.

In particular, the event was attended not only by company representatives and officials working in the shipbuilding and marine industry but also by local governments and related institutions, including stakeholders from industry, academia, research, and government sectors.

Lee Sang-chan, head of the LINC＋ Project Group, said, “The role of regional small and medium-sized shipbuilding companies has become important following the government's Eco-friendly Ship Act (effective January 1, 2020), and especially at this time, active response from local stakeholders is required in selecting materials necessary for building government vessels.”

The LINC＋ Project Group plans to make efforts to foster and develop Jeonnam’s eco-friendly shipbuilding and marine-related industries by maximizing and supporting the resources possessed by the university.
