In April, Dongseong Hwa Intech decided to jointly develop a Suezmax-class ammonia-powered ship with Daehan Shipbuilding and Panasia, and began developing the fuel tank for the vessel. With this, following the existing LNG fuel tank, the company has developed an ammonia fuel tank, thereby securing next-generation eco-friendly fuel storage and usage technology.

A company representative stated, "We expect to gain a technological advantage in the ammonia ship market going forward," adding, "We will also proactively respond to the domestic and international zero-carbon fuel propulsion ship markets, including hydrogen."
