Sungsik Park, Doctoral Student.

He was recently awarded the Excellence Award, the President's Award of the Korea Marine Science and Technology Council, at the 2024 Joint Academic Conference of the Korea Marine Science and Technology Council held at the Jeju International Convention Center.

The Future Marine Science and Technology Talent Award is presented by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Korea Marine Science and Technology Council to discover and reward outstanding academic paper presenters in the field of marine science and technology among graduate students nationwide, with the aim of promoting academic advancement and boosting the morale of emerging researchers in this field.

Park Seongsik received the award in recognition of his paper, “Optimal location selection for LNG terminal considering marine impact of cold discharge: A case study of Tongyeong LNG terminal” (supervising professor: Kim Kyounghoe), which was selected as an outstanding academic paper.

In this paper, he evaluated the marine environmental impact according to the discharge volume of cold water from LNG terminals and developed and presented a technique for optimal site selection for LNG terminals to minimize the impact of cold water discharge. The paper was praised for providing a method to minimize the environmental impact of thermal effluent discharged from LNG terminals, thermal power plants, and nuclear power plants.

The Korea Marine Science and Technology Council, established in 1999, consists of six academic societies?the Society of Naval Architects of Korea, the Korean Institute of Navigation and Port Research, the Korean Society of Coastal and Ocean Engineers, the Korean Society of Ocean Engineers, the Korean Society of Oceanography, and the Korean Society for Marine Environment and Energy?and has over 8,600 members.
