Sailing for Carbon-Free Vessels
In line with the digital transformation trends, Hanwha Ocean will realize smart shipyards and equip itself with eco-friendly low- and zero-carbon solutions preemptively to lead the energy transition. Also , we are developing eco-friendly ships with diverse green ship solutions such as high-manganese steel tanks and rotor sails, as well as constructing carbon-free fuel-powered ships and new types of vessels, in order to contribute to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality.We completed a total shipbuilding solution for eco-friendly ships through the acquisition of Hanwha Engine in February 2024. Going forward, we will preemptively lay the groundwork for the development of green technologies by carrying out offshore demonstrations through our own shipping company, Hanwha Shipping.

Demonstrations
In 2022, we partnered with GasLog, a Greek shipping company, to develop OCCS in earnest. We also obtained an AIP for NaOH-based OCCS from KR in October 2023.
We won orders from an Oceania-based shipping company for constructing the world’s largest 93K CBM ammonia carrier in 2023 and again in 2024. The ammonia carriers will be equipped with HS4, our independent smart ship platform, and green technology like SGM, the latest carbon reduction technology.
In September 2023, we won an AIP for ammonia-powered LNG carriers following the approvals for ammonia-powered container ships and very-large crude oil carriers (VLCCs) from BV and Lloyd’s Register in 2022.
In February 2024, we acquired Hanwha Engine (former HSD Engine), the world’s second-largest low-speed engine manufacturer for ships, to maximize synergies in developing green ship technology and provide a total shipbuilding solution to our customers.
We founded Hanwha Shipping LLC which will serve as a platform for verification of green and digital shipping technology.With the establishment of our own shipping company, we laid the foundation for the preemptive development of green technology from construction to demonstration of carbon-free ships.
