Hyundai Glovis Successfully Holds 'Port Partner Co-Growth Conference'

Hyundai Glovis announced on May 22 that it held the 'Port Partner Co-Growth Conference' to discuss ways to strengthen transportation competitiveness and promote mutual growth with its partner companies working at the forefront of port operations.

From May 8 to 9, Hyundai Glovis hosted its regular co-growth conference at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Yeosu, bringing together 70 participants, including employees from its ship management subsidiary G-Marine Service and 16 partner companies in the shipping sector.

During the conference, practical measures for mutual growth were discussed with working-level staff from partner companies. In particular, participants engaged in in-depth discussions on competitive maritime transportation and the prevention of accidents within ports.

Specifically, the agenda included: reviewing accident cases to prevent disasters, sharing policies for safe transportation, and sharing and improving the challenges faced on the front lines.

There was also a detailed discussion on the electrification of the 'EV-Drill Lance,' a specialized piece of equipment for extinguishing ship fires. In March, Hyundai Glovis supplied EV-Drill Lances to all of its car carriers (both chartered and owned vessels), and is currently conducting research to electrify each component so that remote control becomes possible.
