Pusan National University and Hanwha Ocean open ship-parts test lab
Pusan National University and Hanwha Ocean opened a marine equipment test lab in Busan on November 6.
The lab includes a test bed for vibration-control equipment for ship engines, which the partners developed and tested this year.
The work builds on their previous joint development of a vibration-control device for living areas on a 174,000-tonne LNG carrier.
The new facility links the university’s research and manufacturing resources with the company’s technology needs.
The partners plan to continue joint research on engine vibration control and gradually expand work on ship components.
They say this collaboration is intended to strengthen technology and local production of key ship equipment.
