How Is ISO 19030 Transforming Efficiency Standards for South Korean Shipbuilders?
Introduction:
Competing at the top in South Korea continues to be a feat for a single entity, given that South Korea dominates the shipbuilding industry with its hyundai heavy industries, daewoo shipbuilding & marine engineering (dsme), and samsung heavy industries. Nonetheless, with increasing concern over cycles of fuel consumption, and the increase in eco-friendly fuel alternatives, competitive advantage shifts from size (as competition to claim top spots for government contracts) to efficiency, grading, sustainability, and standardized performance. This is where ISO 19030 enters the stage as a new shipbuilding and fleet operating critical standard that permitted both sets of contractors to measure and tweak hull and propeller performance to build core systems that maximize fuel Sulphur emissions and GHG capture. For Korean marine engineering companies, ISO 19030 sets new benchmarks of efficiency and eco-friendliness.
Understanding ISO 19030
When comparing ISO 19030:2016 and its predecessor, we see that ISO 19030 changed the game with a strong common and base denominator claim of a standardized system of measuring change of elements in a set. Engineering disciplines us by defining change. Achieve efficiency on a holistic approach, and frame complete structure for a vessel. Split it into partitions, and gather engineering elements to achieve top tier construction and measure the degree of precision and accuracy with relation to the target value of the metal shed: it drives, boost, speed, fuel consumption, emissions.
- ISO 19030-1: States constructional and design disciplines of extracting bound documents.
- ISO 19030-2: Indicates ratio relationship between documents with primary restraint measuring bound document constructional design extract derived measure of size: length, width, height, scope
- ISO 19030-3: Explains shifting ratios for parts of the document bound with, constituents bound, volume ratios define alternatives, suggest other degrees for different scenarios.
Through these standards, shipbuilders and fleet owners are able to verify and measure set standards for improvement.
Why ISO Certification Is Important for Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering
- Clarity regarding operational performance facilitates more effective operational decisions.
- Empowers shipwrights to verify whether energy-saving treatments and retrofitting’s claimed energy savings are valid.
- Helps comply with International Maritime Organization regulations and European Union monitoring activities for emissions.
- Enables clients to attain set targets and benchmarks relating to fuel consumption and operational environmental impact.
- Improves the commercial terms of shipbuilding contracts through the inclusion of post-construction-verifiable, performance-maintained warranties.

Case Study: Samsung Heavy Industries and Performance Monitoring
To expand its line of eco-friendly products, Samsung Heavy Industries ( SHI ) put into practice the principles of ISO 19030. They achieved this by installing hull performance monitoring systems on their new ships, working alongside coating industries, and SHI:
- Disproved performance-based contracts through claimed fuel reduction of over 8% throughout many classes of vessels.
- Received accolades from international clients such as Mearsk and BP for the dependable performance data.
- Validated efficiency claims for the performance-based contracts.
This case highlights how Maersk and other reputable clients highlighted the performance data trusted globally SHI’s ISO 19030 has certified high efficiency marine operations.
Benefits of ISO 19030 for Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering
- In the case presented above, the graph demonstrates the direct impact that the implementation of ISO 19030 compliance has on corporate fuel cost structure…p GHG emissions.
- The reduction of diesel fuel in international maritime shipping. The measurement results on precision fuel costing and operational efficiency enables the exact measurement of predicted fuel costing.
- Strong contract accountability and fostered trust from clients.
- Documented fuel expense offshore tendering improves competitive tendering at the international level when contractors require proven claims.
- Advanced Development of vessels with new technologies.
- Designs aimed at offering eco-friend ships. Low emission
