On Tuesday, July 29, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Chun Jae-soo attended the signing ceremony for the agreement to construct the next-generation icebreaking research vessel between the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI; President Shin Hyoung-chul) and Hanwha Ocean (CEO Kim Hee-cheul). Selected as the main contractor, Hanwha Ocean received high marks in the previous technical evaluation for presenting the optimal hull shape, excellent cold resistance, and research space centered on researchers. The signing of this agreement is expected to provide the momentum for Korea to advance into the Arctic.
