*This content was translated by AI.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has succeeded in localizing key equipment for LNG-powered ships through collaboration with domestic SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises).

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries announced that it recently held a final performance verification and type approval certification ceremony for a "high-pressure pump" for LNG fuel supply in Jinhae, Gyeongsangnam-do. This high-pressure pump is a product independently developed by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with domestic SMEs such as Pretex and Seongmun participating in the manufacturing and packaging processes, further enhancing the significance of localization.

Previously, foreign companies dominated the market for high-pressure pumps, leaving the domestic shipbuilding industry dependent on imports and facing limitations such as maintenance challenges and supply chain uncertainties.

An HD Hyundai representative told this newspaper by phone, "This certification ceremony was meaningful as it certifies the high-pressure pump independently developed by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in collaboration with classification societies, flag states, and excellent domestic partner companies."
