UPDATE – eMARINE Global Awarded Third Stage of N

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eMARINE Global, Inc. (OTC:EMRN), a leading provider of information and communications technology for the maritime industry, is pleased to announce Korea’s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries awarded the Company a contract to develop a technology solution that predicts “red tide”, a condition that can produce toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds.

The contract is the third stage of development of Korea’s National Anti-Disaster Information System. eMARINE participated in the two previous stages and believes this contract ideally positions the Company to be awarded the next stage of development in 2018, an estimated $1.5 million project.

“This contract further demonstrates our unique position as a respected leader in the maritime industry in Korea,” stated Ung Gyu Kim, Chairman and CEO of eMARINE Global. “Under this same program, we previously developed and implemented a passenger ship remote monitoring system in 2015 and a typhoon tracking system in 2016. As with prior technologies, we believe we will be able to brand the Red-Tide Prediction System for public and commercial markets after successfully completing this stage of the project, paving the way for additional revenues.”

Using IoT and big data technology, the Red-Tide System analyzes weather data gathered via smart sensors and real-time mobile inputs to predict the most accurate red tide information and broadcasting the information to all concerned parties.

The development of the Red-Tide Prediction System is expected to generate $750,000 in revenue for eMARINE.
