Hanwha Ocean announced today that it has won a regular repair project and MRO project for the "Yukon Ship," a refueling vessel attached to the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet.
The ship MRO project is a ship maintenance, repair, and repair business, and Hanwha Ocean previously won an additional order three months after winning the MRO project of the U.S. Navy's military support ship Wally Shira Ham, the first shipyard in Korea in August.
Hanwha Ocean evaluated that it has pioneered a new milestone by winning additional orders immediately after Trump said in his first phone call with President Yoon Suk Yeol on the 7th that the U.S. shipbuilding industry needs South Korea's cooperation.
The Yukon, which entered service in March 1994, is 206 meters in length and 29.6 meters in width, with a displacement of about 30,000 tons, and will be repaired and delivered back to the U.S. Navy by April next year.
Hanwha Ocean said that the U.S. Navy's MRO project amounts to 20 trillion won a year, and that the additional order is laying the foundation for expanding cooperation to the construction of warships.
