ABS and the Korea Marine Equipment Research Institute (KOMERI) have signed a new agreement to collaborate on tech R&D programmes.
The deal establishes a framework for the organisations to work together in technology research and development for the shipbuilding and marine industries.
The two organisations will cooperate in the use of research facilities and equipment, as well as testing and certification. They also plan to participate in mutual information exchange and education programmes through seminars, workshops and other events.
“Maritime and offshore technologies are evolving rapidly. To make meaningful progress, we need pivotal industry collaborations like this one with KOMERI,” said Matthew Tremblay, ABS Vice President, Global Offshore.
“We look forward to capitalising on our unique strengths and capabilities to advance the safe delivery of the new technologies our industry needs.”
