HD Hyundai, Siemens team up to accelerate smart shipbuilding

HD Hyundai and Siemens have formed a joint research center in Busan to advance the digital transformation of shipbuilding, with the aim of reducing construction time and boosting productivity through AI-powered design and virtual shipyard technology. The Global Marine Center, established on Tuesday in Haeundae-gu, Busan, will bring together 50 specialists from both companies in various fields including ship design, electrical systems, piping, artificial intelligence, and product lifecycle management.

The center will develop a marine platform that integrates data across ship design, construction, and maintenance into 3D digital models, as well as support virtual shipyards where production processes and equipment operations can be simulated and tested before real-world deployment. This initiative, part of HD Hyundai’s broader Future of Shipyard project, aims to establish intelligent, autonomous shipyards by 2030, cutting shipbuilding time by 30 percent while increasing productivity by 30 percent.
