A Pan Ocean official said, "This LTSA agreement reflects Pan Ocean's strong commitment to securing ship quality and safety," adding, "We will continue to consult with Hanwha Engine to successfully carry out the LTSA."

Hanwha Engine has been diligently organizing its structure and infrastructure to expand its aftermarket. The aftermarket refers to the market created for inspecting, repairing, or replacing parts of sold products. Hanwha Engine stated that this contract is an important turning point that marks the full-scale entry into the LTSA market beyond a simple order.

A Hanwha Engine official expressed, "LTSA demand is emerging for dual-fuel engines, which have recently seen a surge in orders," and added, "We aim to stand out in the market based on Hanwha Engine’s specialized customer service and competitiveness."
