South Korea’s DSME will develop a High Fidelity Dynamic Simulator for a regasification plant as part of a delivery scope for a vessel currently under construction at its Okpo shipyard.
DSME will utilise Kongsberg Maritime’s Dynamic Process Simulator ‘K-Spice’ and the ‘K-Chief’ automation and control system for the joint development of the vessel’s regasification control system.
DSME pointed out that it is fast approaching delivery of 100 LNG ships, many of them operating with Kongsberg Maritime’s LNG control system on board. Kongsberg Maritime, on the other hand, is expanding its LNG vessel reference list now already surpassing 200 LNG control system installations.
“We have supplied ship automation systems to DSME since the 1980’s and LNG ship control systems since 2002. We are committed to supporting their technology needs today and in the future,” said Tore Wean, managing director, Kongsberg Maritime Korea.
Young Bok Choi, vice president at DSME naval & energy system R&D, commented: “We believe it will be a very significant stepping stone for further development projects and together we can provide our customers with world leading technology solutions.”
Further to the signing of the joint development agrement, DSME and Kongsberg Maritime are in discussions for possible cooperation on marketing activities of the new LNG FSRU regasification control system.
