Hanwha Ocean has signed a joint design agreement with a US naval architecture firm to develop the Fast Sealift vessel, expanding its collaboration with the US shipbuilding industry beyond ship construction to design, workforce development and supply chain initiatives.
The company announced on July 24 that it signed one professional services agreement for the joint design of a global strategic sealift vessel and two memoranda of understanding (MOUs) covering shipbuilding workforce development and supply chain cooperation during the opening ceremony of the Korea-US Shipbuilding Cooperation Center in Washington, D.C. on July 23.
Hanwha Ocean signed the professional services agreement with Leidos Gibbs & Cox, a US naval architecture company, to jointly design the strategic sealift vessel. The agreement expands the partnership beyond the memorandum of understanding signed in April, which focused on strengthening shipbuilding capabilities for the US Navy and allied naval forces, into the joint design phase.
A Fast Sealift vessel is a dual-use platform that operates as a commercial cargo ship during peacetime and can rapidly transport military equipment and supplies during emergencies.
The companies plan to combine Hanwha Ocean's naval shipbuilding expertise with the design capabilities of Leidos Gibbs & Cox to pursue opportunities in both the US and global naval vessel markets. Gibbs & Cox has designed more than 70% of the US Navy's surface combatants built since World War II.
Hanwha Ocean also signed an MOU with Hanwha Philly Shipyard and Delaware County Community College to cooperate on shipbuilding education and workforce development. Under the agreement, the partners will develop instructor training programs for US shipbuilding workers and help expand the pool of skilled labor.
"We will expand cooperation in the areas the United States needs most by leveraging our local production base and play a central role in the MASGA project," said Jeong In-seob, president and head of Management Support at Hanwha Ocean.
