Hanwha Power System, Hanwha Aerospace, and Hanwha Engine signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with RINA Asia BV Korea Branch, a global Italian company, to jointly develop a "battery hybrid propulsion system" on March 11.

The agreement will develop a technology to convert internal combustion engine-centered propulsion systems into battery hybrids in response to global maritime decarbonization trends. It covers not only new construction ships but also the eco-friendly retrofit market of existing ships, and aims to create a total solution that combines the hardware capabilities of three Hanwha companies and RINA's certification know-how.

Hanwha Power System oversees ship design and system interface integration technology as a project control tower. Hanwha Aerospace's marine energy storage system (ESS) and Hanwha Engine's propulsion engine technology will be concentrated in its design capabilities to complete a state-of-the-art battery hybrid propulsion ship.

"This cooperation is an opportunity to maximize synergy by bringing together the energy facilities, batteries, and engine integration capabilities of Hanwha affiliates," said an official from Hanwha Power System who spoke to this newspaper by phone.
