As a member of the Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Plant Association, Hanwha Ocean will present a large ammonia carrier (93,000㎥ class VLAC) powered by ammonia fuel at the Korea Pavilion joint booth. Ammonia is an eco-friendly fuel that emits no carbon dioxide during combustion and is gaining attention as a representative fuel leading the future carbon-free era.

Hanwha Ocean's VLAC incorporates concentrated eco-friendly technologies. It features a shaft generator motor system (SGM) that connects a motor to the propulsion shaft to generate power and save fuel, as well as Hanwha Ocean's self-developed smart ship platform (HS4).

Additionally, Hanwha Ocean plans to collaborate with leading global classification societies on various eco-friendly technologies and certifications during the exhibition. A Hanwha Ocean official stated, "This will be a great opportunity to demonstrate our overwhelming eco-friendly technology to shipowners worldwide," adding, "We will lead the eco-friendly ship market."
