▲Im Geun-tae, director of the Ship and Ocean Research Institute, is giving a presentation at the 'Plant Shipbuilding Conference 2023.'

The world's first land-and-sea test bed serves as an internationally recognized testing and certification agency.
The only government-funded research institute in Korea to provide autonomous ship testing and evaluation services.
When Ulsan's Autonomous Ship Performance Demonstration Center begins demonstrations in the second half of 2023, it will become the world's first and Korea's only such center.
At the 'Plant Shipbuilding Conference 2023' held at the Baekbeom Kim Gu Memorial Hall Convention Hall on the 10th, Lim Geun-tae, Director of the Ship and Ocean Research Institute, introduced the autonomous ship performance demonstration center being built in the Ulsan Goneul District through the autonomous ship technology development project and the onshore and offshore test bed infrastructure for demonstration and performance evaluation under the theme of 'Introduction of cases of infrastructure construction for performance verification of autonomous ship technology.'
Once it enters verification, it will serve as the world's first internationally recognized autonomous ship testing and certification body utilizing land and sea test beds, and as the only government-funded research institute in the nation's key maritime and shipbuilding industries, it will provide autonomous ship testing and evaluation services.
The Autonomous Ship Performance Demonstration Center (hereinafter referred to as the Performance Demonstration Center) is being built to verify the 'Autonomous Ship Technology Development Project' jointly promoted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

Construction was completed in November last year, and once the equipment is installed, demonstration work is expected to begin in the second half of 2023.
The performance demonstration center is constructed on a scale of 1,278㎡, with one basement level and three above-ground levels, and consists of an integrated performance test laboratory on land, an integrated simulation laboratory, a maritime control room, and a test operation room.
The Performance Demonstration Center will play a pivotal role in the development of autonomous driving technology, including technology verification and pilot operation.

Through demonstrations, we plan to secure a technological edge in the global market by securing the lead in autonomous driving-related technology development and verification technologies, and also to secure data accumulation and track records through the operation of advanced equipment.
We also focus on strengthening the connection with the core tasks of the 'Autonomous Ship Technology Development Project'.
It is expected to be an important facility that will be directly related to the development of advanced autonomous sensing equipment, operational technology, and standardization, and will be able to test its performance.
Autonomous ships will have AI as the captain on a digital bridge.
The digital bridge must control the diesel engines of the test ship's twin axles with digital commands, but the final decision-maker for the commands and the authority to change the control mode have not been determined.
We plan to create these things one by one at the Performance Demonstration Center.
Director Lim explained that the verification methods are largely based on simulation and actual sea areas.
Due to stability, it is actually implementedWe have designed a simulation-based verification system to be used when many scenarios need to be performed multiple times to ensure safety and to address difficult issues.
Additionally, a waters area for experiments was created in front of the Performance Demonstration Center to enable testing of target technologies.
The current test vessel is a 25-meter coastal vessel built using a commercial LTE VPN security network and satellite communications, and all data is accumulated in real time in a server room within the center.
Based on the operation of a 25m-class test vessel, the company plans to commercialize the technology through maritime demonstration tests for approximately two years starting in 2024.
The number of sensors installed on ships is also increasing.
Director Lim said that one more radar will be added, adding to the existing six cameras, which will increase the number by about 30% compared to the current number.
Based on the above, the Performance Demonstration Center submitted a report to the IMO (International Maritime Organization) last year.
Director Lim said, “We will work to ensure that the guidelines related to verification reflect the contents proposed by the Performance Verification Center.”
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, together with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, is promoting the 'Autonomous Ship Core Technology Development Project' that will enable ships to operate without crew members on board by integrating AI, IoT, and big data technologies.
From 2020 to 2025, 160.3 billion won will be invested in intelligent navigation systems, engine automation systems, next-generation communication systems, and land operation systems. We plan to develop core technologies for autonomous ships and demonstrate them on actual ships capable of international navigation to lay the foundation for commercialization.
