South Korea launches green ship testing directory
In South Korea, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has launched a platform listing 119 facilities nationwide where manufacturers can test and verify eco-friendly ship equipment, going live on March 9 and requiring no membership to access.
Users can search by equipment function, testing institution and certification type, with a map showing facility locations. The platform sits within the ministry’s existing eco-friendly ship support website.
Performance verification is a mandatory step before new marine technology can be installed aboard vessels, and the ministry says centralizing facility information is designed to accelerate that process as demand for green ship equipment grows.
