Following the recent announcement of acquisition of the Philly Shipyard, Hanwha Ocean gained a foothold in the U.S. naval shipbuilding business. The Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) certification of Hanwha Ocean’s Goeje Shipyard from the U.S. Navy, recognizes Hanwha Ocean's capabilities in naval vessel construction and maintenance, driving diversification of its naval business.

This accomplishment highlights Hanwha Ocean's technological and maintenance capabilities for naval vessels. It marks an important milestone in consolidating the company's reputation in the international defense market through enhanced cooperation with the U.S. Navy.

The MSRA is a distinguished certification conferred by the U.S. Navy to ensure the quality and reliability of ship maintenance services. Obtaining this certification involves a rigorous evaluation process, and only MSRA-granted companies can participate in various U.S. Navy ship maintenance projects.

Hanwha Ocean, which recently announced the acquisition of the Philly Shipyard, was thoroughly evaluated for its capabilities in the naval business to earn MSRA certification. This milestone is expected to strengthen its expansion into the global naval shipbuilding market.

Hanwha Ocean remains steadfast in its commitment to elevating its leadership in the global maritime security domain through continuous technological innovation and quality enhancement, aiming to emerge as a prime builder in the industry.
