HD Hyundai will showcase next-generation gas carrier technology at 'Gastech' (Gastech), the world's largest gas exhibition.

HD Hyundai will participate in 'Gastech 2026', held from the 14th to the 17th in Bangkok, Thailand. Five affiliates — HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, HD Hyundai Samho, HD Hyundai Marine Solution, and HD Hyundai Electric — are scheduled to participate. The booth jointly prepared by HD Hyundai will exhibit eco-friendly ship models including next-generation LNG carriers, FSRUs, and liquefied carbon dioxide carriers.

This 37th edition of the event is expected to attract over 1,000 companies from around the world and more than 50,000 visitors.

Regular Line Chairman HD Hyundai, Kim Hyung-kwan, President of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, along with key executives and employees from sales, research and development, and engineering departments will attend the exhibition to actively promote eco-friendly technologies to global shipping lines and classification societies while presenting a blueprint for the future shipbuilding and maritime industry.

HD Hyundai has received design approval for a future LNG carrier equipped with a bow living quarter and wind-assisted propulsion system through Lloyd's Register (LR)'s Drawing Appraisal. Additionally, HD Hyundai will receive basic certification from LR and other classification societies for its design technology that can replace the minimum pressure requirements of 'Type C tanks', widely used as medium-sized liquefied gas storage tanks, as well as for the development of a 35,000-cubic-meter (㎥) liquefied carbon dioxide carrier and an 185,000-㎥ HYBE-led electric propulsion system.

In a phone interview with this newspaper, an HD Hyundai official stated, "HD Hyundai possesses unique shipbuilding technology that can flexibly respond to environmental regulations while maximizing operational efficiency."
