‘MODU’ Marine Waste Crusher

[INQ. NO. 1601M54] SUNGMOON, specializes in manufacturing marine andhttps://korean-machinery.com///inquiry offshore waste disposal products, and during the years, has been delivering the goods to Hyundai Heavy industries, Wartsila Hyundai Engine, STX engine, and other major shipbuilding and engine companies in the world. Recently, SUNGMOON launched a brand named ‘MODU’ as part of the marine environment management project, and developed a marine waste crusher on its own as the first product of its kind.
According to a completely revised IMO MARPOL ANNEX V (Prevention of pollution by garbage from ships), the discharge of marine waste from ships is completely prohibited except in some conditions. Consequently, as it is inevitable to unload generated waste, additional problems occur such as lack of waste loading space and unloading cost.

SUNGMOON’s marine waste crusher ‘MODU’ can solve those problems all at once. As this product was designed by taking into account the voltage tailored to the ship environment, crushable materials, size, etc., the volume of various wastes generated from ships can be effectively reduced by only one model compared to the other crushers. In addition, the crusher has an automated recovery function that can protect the cutter and motor from any damage at the overload, so it guarantees the longer life time. As of now, SUNGMOON completed the supply contracts of this crusher with major shipbuilding companies and marine companies at home and abroad, and will also release additional marine environment related product lines.

“Polypreg Foam” prevents flame spread in case of fire, and ensures low smoke density and very little toxic gas emission, with a high limiting oxygen index (≥35). This feature means that it is able to provide the absolute non-combustible that meets the stringent flame-retardant standards. Thus, it is a product ensuring excellent heat insulation and sound-acoustic and sound-absorption performance.

Polypreg Foam can be reused and reproduced, unlike the existing mineral insulation, which requires glass and living rocks and should be disposed of in the form of area reclamation, can be used as a substitute of the existing mineral insulation materials – glass wool and mineral wool used as materials for building and general industry. The
polyurethane forming foam is free from any disadvantageous aspects of the existing flexible polyurethane foam had including risk of fire and fast oxidation. DMIT is seeking opportunities to advance into potential overseas markets, especially for markets where construction of top-level buildings is currently active.

Mokpo-based marine equipment enterprises to boost their market-competitiveness, invigorating the regional economy

1As of 2014, the global marine equipment market was dominated by three key countries of South Korea, China, and Japan, recording around $83.4 billion in sales. The demand of
the global marine equipment, in 2014, was largely created by a few leading nations – South Korea (37, 2%), China (37, 2%), Japan (18, 3%), and others (7.3%).

As the global marine base is increasingly shifting to the Asian region, the production capacity ratio of the marine equipment in the global market is also being moved to Asia, with Europe’s still comparative higher ratio than other global regions. As of 2014, the global marine equipment production was mainly made by Europe (48%), South Korea (22%), Japan (14%), China (11%), and others (5%), meaning that East Asia’s three major marine nations are continuously pursuing their stops as big hands in the global marine equipment production market.

The demand for developing newer technology in the global marine equipment industry is increasing with the rising demand for high-value vessels, coupled with the growing need
for offshore drill ships and related facilities development. In response to the changing global marine market, most of S. Korea’s small-and medium-sized marine equipment
manufacturers are seeking ways to develop stronger capability to develop advanced technology, escaping from their positions as manufacturers of simply producing marine
equipment.Korea’s marine equipment manufacturers were being significantly affected by the nation’s shipbuilders’ order performances from overseas markets Korean shipbuilders recent recorded their increased growth in order quantities for this year, making the nation the global NO.1 country.

When looking into Mokpo’s hinterland region of Jeollanam-do province, now a total of 197 companies including enterprises of vessel blocks operate, having a big effect on the regional economy. Regional companies with technology competitiveness exert their leadership in the global market, given the overall difficulties caused by the recent Europe-originated financial crisis. Meanwhile, an increasing number of companies are equipping themselves with their own technologies, so, if the marine economy is, in the near future, invigorated, such kinds of companies’ performances are expected to be conspicuous.

Korea Buyers Guide covers four major companies recommended by Mokpo CCI in order for us to fully introduce these companies to overseas markets, and thus to increase the awareness of these enterprises in the global market.

Korea suffers from nutcracker effects in between Japan and China In ASEAN M&A market

Many are concerned that Korea may lose its initiative in ASEAN cross-border M&A market as the country is significantly falling behind its competitors such as Japan and China. Between January 2010 and May 2015, the shares of ASEAN M&A of Japan and China were 13.0 percent (ranked No.1) and 8.1 percent (ranked 5th), respectively, based on acquisition price, while that of Korea was only 2.4 percent (ranked 12th).

The Institute for International Trade of the Korea International Trade Association released a report titled “Competition Between Japan and China in ASEAN cross-border M&A, What Is Korea’s Strategy?” According to the report, while the M&A market in ASEAN has been expanding, Japan and China have led ASEAN M&A cross-border market with the two countries’ combined shares of 33.2 percent (Japan 28.5%, China 4.7%) in 2013 and 34.5 percent (Japan 9.9%, China 24.6%) in 2014.

During the same period, Japan executed more than 50 percent of its M&As in finance sector and many analyzed that it was the solution for its finance institutions’ worsening profitabilities due to matured domestic market as well as low interest rate. In contrast, China has carried out M&As focusing on investment in infrastructure and the share expansion of manufacturing industry as the country has enough growth potential in its domestic markets.

Japanese companies’ good performance due to low yen and the Chinese government’s ‘one belt one road’ policy as well as its relaxation of foreign investment review process will help Japan and China to accelerate their expansions in ASEAN M&A market. Kim Jungkyun, a researcher at KITA said “Korea is suffering from nutcracker effects in between Japan and China in ASEAN M&A market. Thus, Korea is required to expand its M&A targeting retail and finance sectors as well as IT industries in which Korea has global
competitiveness.”
