By Douglas Kim

  • In this insight, we highlight some of the important industry factors impacting HD Hyundai Marine Solution. 
  • Eco-Friendly ships are high-value-added ships that require more parts than conventional ships and are mechanically more complex, so the unit cost of parts is higher than that of conventional ships.
