[Las Vegas (USA) = Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Jung Ki-sun, CEO of Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings, declared that Hyundai Heavy Industries Group will transform into a company that creates future value in all fields including machinery, robotics, autonomous navigation technology, and energy, beyond being the world's number one shipbuilding company.

On the 5th (local time), Jung Ki-sun, CEO of Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings, presented 'Future Builder' as Hyundai Heavy Industries Group's future vision at 'CES 2022,' the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the United States. This is Hyundai Heavy Industries Group's first participation in CES.

At the Hyundai Heavy Industries Group booth in the West Hall of the Convention Center, Jung invited domestic and international reporters and said, "Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, which has grown as the world's number one shipbuilder over the past 50 years, will be reborn as a 'Future Builder' that creates new value for humanity."

He continued, "We are proud of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group's past 50 years of laying the foundation for global growth," and emphasized, "In the next 50 years, we will become the world's best Future Builder and create new growth that is more sustainable, smarter, and more inclusive, unlike anything before."

Hyundai Heavy Industries Group introduced innovative technologies that will lead the three core future businesses of shipbuilding & offshore, energy, and machinery, including ▲ Avikus's autonomous navigation technology ▲ liquefied hydrogen transportation and propulsion system technology ▲ intelligent robotics and solution technology.

Engineer Joo introduced Avikus's autonomous navigation technology as a core technology that can drastically reduce the possibility of maritime accidents and transform maritime logistics and marine resource development. Engineer Joo said, "By the first quarter of this year, we plan to complete the world's first autonomous ocean-crossing voyage of a large vessel," adding, "Our mission is to create the safest and smartest ship through full autonomous navigation."

Next, Director Kim presented the marine hydrogen value chain as a solution to the energy crisis and climate change. He identified green hydrogen production technology and liquefied hydrogen carriers as key technologies that will enhance the potential of the marine hydrogen business. He also announced that Hyundai Heavy Industries Group plans to build a 100 MW scale green hydrogen production plant by 2025 and develop the world's first 20,000 cubic meter hydrogen carrier.

Michael Ryu, Chief Strategy Officer of Clue Insight, a big data-based equipment management solution developer under Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, presented the vision of a safe and efficient future construction site realized through intelligent robotics technology. Hyundai Doosan Infracore and Hyundai Construction Equipment plan to commercialize smart construction robots and related platform services by 2025, aiming for unmanned construction sites.
