[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] A student team majoring in Naval Architecture and Ocean Systems Engineering at Pukyong National University won the first prize, the Grand Prize, and a cash award of 2 million KRW at the "3rd Korea Coast Guard Ship Design Competition."

The competition, hosted by the Korea Coast Guard, was held under the theme of "Conceptual Design of a 3,000-ton Class Eco-friendly Large Patrol Vessel" to discover innovative ideas from young people for next-generation eco-friendly ship improvements.

The design report submitted by the Pukyong National University team?consisting of students Jo Yoon-sung, Kang Min-su, Lee Seung-hoon, Lee Tae-woo, Choi Min-ho, and Choi Si-hoon?was recognized for its completeness, suitability, and originality in the first document screening and the second presentation evaluation.

The Pukyong team received excellent evaluations for their design, which actively reflected the latest ship design trends and eco-friendly elements based on LNG engine propulsion.

They designed the vessel by calculating ship resistance and optimal engine horsepower using precise specifications derived from case studies utilizing data from similar existing vessels. Additionally, they applied a damping device as an eco-friendly facility to block Underwater Radiated Noise (URN), achieving outstanding results.

Now in its third year, the Korea Coast Guard Ship Design Competition is held annually to facilitate communication with future naval architecture talents in the shipbuilding project field, with naval architecture and ocean-related departments from universities nationwide participating and competing.
