First contract for Sener subsidiary in Korea

The agreement covers implementation of 3D model-based Foran modules for hull form generation, hull structure, outfitting and drafting at KRE offices in Seoul and Busan, while end-users are being trained at Sener Korea facilities in Busan.

This first order for Sener Korea is seen as justification for Sener’s strategic business unit and the local team establishing the new subsidiary. KRE management decided to strengthen the company’s ship design and engineering capabilities, by modernising its computer systems and recruiting new designers able to use advanced 3D CAD tools. Sener says that the agreement with KRE not only expands the Foran user base in Korea, but also should generate multiple joint business opportunities across Asia, through opening the door to a wider technical and commercial collaboration between KRE and Sener, particularly in the design of specialised vessels incorporating technological innovations.
