ABS and the Hydrogen Ship Technology Center at Pusan National University have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the research and technology development of liquid hydrogen carriers and cryogenic engineering. This partnership will facilitate the sharing of resources and expertise to address the technical complexities of transporting liquefied hydrogen at ultra-low temperatures. The joint efforts between ABS and the university are expected to drive advancements in liquid hydrogen technology for maritime applications, including liquid hydrogen carriers and propulsion systems. Patrick Ryan, ABS Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, expressed confidence in the collaboration's potential to make significant progress in hydrogen technology at sea. Pusan National University's Hydrogen Ship Technology Center, recognized for its technical strength and industry experience, has been assigned the lead role in the project to develop basic technology for commercializing liquid hydrogen carriers. This project aligns with the 'K-Shipbuilding Super Gap Vision 2040' and aims to construct the world's largest liquid hydrogen carrier. Dr. Lee Jae-Myung, Director of the Hydrogen Ship Technology Center, highlighted the partnership as a pivotal moment for advancing liquid hydrogen utilization in the future hydrogen economy through international exchange activities focused on ultra-low temperature technology.
