AVEVA Solutions to be Used in World’s Fourth Biggest Shipyard
AVEVA announced that one of Korea's leading shipbuilders, Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction-Tech, Inc. has signed a multi-million USD agreement with AVEVA to equip their new shipyard in the Philippines with AVEVA Marine solutions and AVEVA NET.
Hanjin has invested USD720 million constructing the shipyard in Subic Bay, Philippines. Phase One of the Subic Dockyard which includes a 1,000-m assembly line, 2 ultra-huge gantry cranes and a 1.6-km quay wall has been completed. Total shipbuilding capacity for this phase is 220,000 tons/year. Phase Two due for completion in the 2nd half of 2008 will boost capacity by an extra 450,000 tons/year.
ChoonBae Jeon, Manager of Technical Team, Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction-Tech, Inc., said: "The new shipyard in the Philippines is based on our strategy to overcome growth limits because of limited space in our local shipyards. We will be adopting AVEVA Marine solutions and AVEVA NET which are effectively in use in our Youngdo, Ulsan and Masan shipyards in South Korea."
Peter Finch, President, AVEVA Asia Pacific, said:
"We are sure that the efficiency at the high-tech Subic Dockyard will be further enhanced with the implementation of our solutions. Moreover, we are certainly proud that AVEVA's solutions will play a major role in the design and construction of the world's largest ship being built at Subic."
