KR has officially launched “KR-Real360,” a 360-degree XR (eXtended Reality)-based ship education and training program that has revolutionized ship familiarization training methods.

KR published its Autumn 2023 issue of the KR Decarbonization Magazine on 31 Oct.

The KR Alternative Fuel Technology Research Team is currently carrying out the R&D development project “Development of mobility driving mode for expansion of fuel cell system hybrid power system” funded by the Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy (MOTIE, Korea). The shipbuilding and shipping industry's research into sailing mode development is limited. While it's feasible to adapt the actively researched car driving mode concept to ships, the distinct operating environments of cars and ships make direct application challenging. Therefore, developing a method to derive ship-specific sailing modes and a system for generating representative sailing modes is essential.

The 9th session of the Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (hereinafter referred to as “CCC”) took place in a hybrid meeting from 20 to 29 September 2023. The primary focus of the meeting was to address items related to the safety of cargo and containers, the development of provisions for alternative fuels and other relevant issues falling within the purview of the Sub-Committee. This news flash brief provides an overview of the key outcomes of CCC9 regarding major technical issues.
