SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, Feb. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eMARINE Global, Inc. (OTC: EMRN), a leading provider of information and communications technology for the maritime industry, is pleased to announce it secured a three-year contract with Hyundai Global Service Co., Ltd., a spin-off of Hyundai Heavy Industries, to supply the Company’s Marine Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform for more than 1,000 ships now in operation at sea.
“This is another major win for eMarine Global and our role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” stated Ung Gyu Kim, Chairman and CEO. “Having our innovative and proprietary technology retrofitted into more than 1,000 vessels currently in operation, places us in an ideal position for long-term success and market leadership.”
eMarine Global’s newly developed Marine IoT platform will enable Hyundai to remotely monitor the real-time operation of its ships, providing the necessary data to drive proactive and pre-emptive repair and maintenance decisions, ultimately leading to more efficient operations.
The Company has also secured contracts to develop smart-ship solutions, including voyage optimization, engine status monitoring, and remote monitoring, for Hyundai’s new-build vessels.
“While we continue to gain traction with Hyundai and other leading customers, we are still in the early stages of a long-term opportunity. We are pleased to see positive progress in merger negotiations between Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo, the number one and two largest shipbuilders globally, and we very much look forward to a potential opportunity to extend our technology implementations to Daewoo’s sizeable fleet,” continued Ung Gyu Kim.
