On Oct. 15, 2020, in the main conference room on 3F DongHwa Entec’s Hwajeon factory, DongHwa Entec Co., Ltd. co-hosted a business agreement ceremony with Latech Co., Ltd., Keumha Naval Technology Co., Ltd. and Korea Maritime & Ocean University. 

The agreement focuses on promotion of EMS commercialization. 

The agreement forms the basis of successful development, production and sales of EMS based on mutual trust and collaboration between specialist manufacturers of each component of “EMS(Energy Management System) commercialization” carried out by the Korea Maritime & Ocean University’s E2E Lab. 

The ceremony was attended by DongHwa Entec CEO Kim Dong-kun, Latech CEO Choe Jeong-sam, Keumha Naval Technology CEO Yang Hyang-gwon and Professor O Jin-seok of Korea Maritime & Ocean University. 

The group decided the business scope and method for R&D, production and sales of trial/mass-produced products by establishing common goals for developing commercialized products to improve vessel energy efficiency. 

With DongHwa Entec Co., Ltd. as the organizing company, Latech Co., Ltd. and Keumha Naval Technology Co., Ltd. agreed to actively cooperate for responding and selling the product to ordering organizations in terms of technological and commercial matters. 

Korea Maritime & Ocean University will transfer the R&D-related patents and technology for the three companies to use jointly. 

“EMS” is a system suitable for future electric ships that applies technology (especially propulsion motor and battery) commercialized after conducting research on energy efficiency improvement techniques through power and load efficiency in consideration of the characteristics of operation environments according to the characteristics of power generation sources and load of ships. 

“EMS” analyzes the characteristics of ship loads, and the load control system based on analysis of each composition system and other loads on ship and the state of power generation sources is comprised of LCS, which can further evolve into basic technology for unmanned and automated ships. 

Through this “business agreement ceremony to promote EMS commercialization,” each participating company and organization has committed to fulfilling their responsibility and obligations to serve with active interest and continuous efforts as a compass for the future eco-friendly ship market.
