South Korea's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has made significant strides in promoting green maritime practices by revising standards for electric vessels to accelerate their construction and adoption in the country. With around 50 electric-powered units already in operation, South Korea aims to mitigate pollution and reduce emissions through the deployment of low-carbon ships. The recent revisions to the 'Standards for Electric-powered Ships' focus on fuel cells, portable power sources, and enhanced reliability of electric propulsion systems. Hydrogen-powered ships, exemplified by Vinssen's Hydrogenia, are gaining momentum in South Korea's maritime industry, with several companies investing in eco-friendly ship technologies. The 2030 Green Ship-K Promotion Strategy underscores the country's commitment to advancing low-carbon ship technologies and fostering a sustainable maritime sector. The future looks promising for electric vessels in South Korea, with an expected compound annual growth rate of 19.3% by 2030. Significant funding, including support for the construction of environmentally friendly vessels, aims to bolster the country's shipbuilding industry and ensure its competitiveness in the global green marine market. By aligning with stringent regulations and leveraging public-private partnerships, South Korea is poised to meet the growing demand for sustainable and future-ready vessels.
