According to industry sources on May 28, HD Hyundai Chairman Chung Ki-sun, Samsung Heavy Industries CEO Choi Sung-an, and HJ Shipbuilding CEO Yoo Sang-cheol will participate in the Posidonia event from June 1 to 5 (local time).
Posidonia is recognized as one of the top three maritime exhibitions globally, alongside Norway's Nor-Shipping and Germany's SMM.
Chairman Chung plans to aggressively promote liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, eco-friendly ships, autonomous navigation technology, and AI-based smart ship solutions.
This year, key subsidiaries including HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, HD Hyundai Samho, HD Hyundai Marine Solutions, Avikus, and HD Hyundai Electric will join the event, bolstered by the presence of Vice Chairman Lee Sang-kyun of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Hanwha Ocean will also emphasize its competitiveness in LNG carriers and maritime defense technology, focusing on securing new contracts.
Samsung Heavy Industries will have CEO Choi Sung-an personally travel to Athens to explore expanding its global shipowner network. The company has recently strengthened its bidding competitiveness in floating LNG production facilities (FLNG) and LNG and eco-friendly ships, planning to leverage its technological expertise to penetrate the market.
HJ Shipbuilding, which is enhancing its presence through eco-friendly and specialized vessels, will also attend the event. CEO Yoo Sang-cheol aims to broaden connections with global shipowners.
Industry experts believe that this year's Posidonia will serve as a crucial stage to gauge the ordering trends of global shipowners and the future direction of the shipbuilding market. One industry insider noted, "With growing interest in eco-friendly ships, autonomous navigation, and AI-based smart ship technology, domestic shipbuilders are increasingly committed to participating in the event."
