Hanwha Ocean has established and operates a systematic organization to develop differentiated clean products and lead technology development in the shipbuilding and offshore sector. The Product Strategy Technology Institute holds ownership of technology, performing roles from research and development to commercialization stages, as well as recognizing and resolving issues arising in the field where the technology is applied. In the short term, we develop more efficient energy-saving technologies compared to existing ones, provide customers with high value-added ships applying low-carbon/carbon-free fuel technologies, and ultimately promote the transition to fully carbon-free propulsion ships equipped with differentiated Green Ship technologies.

Within the Naval Ship Division, the Defense Technology Research Center conducts research to strengthen the technological competitiveness of defense products, while the Production Process Innovation Manager under Chief Production Officer is building an intelligent smart yard based on advanced digital technologies such as IoT and AI. By organically connecting all organizations within the Geoje Shipyard using big data, we establish efficient and optimized production processes, automate production stages, and maximize productivity during the construction process.

In 2024, Hanwha Ocean established the E&I Division by acquiring plant and wind power businesses to secure future growth engines in the clean energy business. The Plant Business Development Manager has established a new business technology team within the organization in line with the global decarbonization trend, collaborating with related departments across the company and group to lead the development of onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) technology and build a hydrogen value chain. Additionally, the Wind Power Business Development Manager has expanded business areas into offshore wind power by obtaining permits for the Yeonggwang Chilhae Offshore Wind Power Project, leading the establishment of a sustainable marine renewable energy ecosystem.
