A highly productive and insightful technical meeting was recently held in the Athens Marriott, bringing together Hyundai Electric and Oceanking to showcase Hyundai Electric’s latest innovations in marine technology. The event introduced cutting-edge solutions designed to enhance energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and support the maritime industry’s shift toward sustainable operations.

The meeting highlighted three major technological advancements: the Shaft Generator, the Intelligent Motor Control Unit (IMCU), and the Intelligent Preventive Diagnosis System (Hi-PDS).

“We are very proud to have been working together for over 15 years, having established a strong cooperation and relationship,” said Ms Carola Yannouli, OCEANKING General Manager. “With the mutual efforts of Oceanking and the Hyundai Electric team, we have today over 500 Greek ships with HDE products onboard”.

Hyundai Electric continues to leverage their vast experience in advanced diesel and gas engine technologies to support the evolving needs of global shipping.

With increasing environmental regulations shaping the future of the industry, the event underscored the importance of innovative, compliant technologies. Hyundai Electric is responding with robust investments in state-of-the-art systems that not only meet current standards but also anticipate future demands.

A key highlight of the event was the presentation of the Shaft Generator, a solution enabling onboard power generation with significantly reduced environmental impact. This technology helps minimize emissions and lower operational costs, aligning with the industry’s dual goals of sustainability and economic efficiency. The system features include:

• Reduced fuel consumption and operational costs
• Lower noise levels and vibration
• Decreased carbon emissions
• High operational efficiency
• To date, the Shaft Generator has been installed on 67 vessels.

Also unveiled were the Intelligent Motor Control Unit (IMCU) and the Intelligent Preventive Diagnosis System (Hi-PDS). These smart systems integrate state of the art software to extend the life of electric equipment onboard and reduce maintenance requirements. They ensure optimal motor performance while minimizing energy usage, helping shipowners maintain reliable, efficient operations.

The event concluded with an overview of HD Hyundai Electric’s operations in China, which mirror the quality and certification standards of the company’s Korean headquarters. This expansion supports the growing demand within the Chinese newbuilding market.

Oceanking remains committed to delivering solutions that meet the challenges of a rapidly changing maritime landscape.
