DH Shipbuilding Expands Green Ship Lineup and Strengthens ESG Management through Joint Development of Battery Auxiliary and Wind Shield Technologies

  • Joint Development Project (JDP) for 'Battery Auxiliary System' with DNV (Norway) and SETH (China) – Aiming to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

  • JDP for 'Container Ship Wind Shield' with Mokpo National University and ABS (USA) – Enhancing shared value based on local industry-academia cooperation.

On June 3rd, DH Shipbuilding signed a JDP with DNV (a Norwegian classification society) and SETH (a Chinese eco-friendly solution company) for a "Diesel Generator Battery Auxiliary System using a Shaft Generator Motor."

 

This technology is an Energy Storage System (ESS) that stores surplus power in a battery while the ship is operating and uses it when power demand is high. Even during sudden spikes in power usage, the battery supplies the necessary extra power. This reduces the unnecessary operation of generators, thereby lowering fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

Following this, on June 4th, DH Shipbuilding signed another JDP for "Container Ship Wind Shield Technology Development" with National Mokpo University and ABS (a US classification society).

 

A wind shield is a technology that applies a curved structure to the front of a ship to reduce air resistance during operation. Container ships are highly affected by wind because containers are stacked high on the deck. The wind shield helps smooth the airflow, which improves propulsion efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.

 

This project is especially meaningful as it is carried out together with National Mokpo University, a local educational institution.

 

Moving forward, DH Shipbuilding plans to continue contributing to nurturing local talent and strengthening the competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry through industry-academia cooperation.
