HD Hyundai Heavy Industries achieved a cumulative production of 15,000 units of the 'HiMSEN', the first domestically developed, independently-developed technology.

On the 29th, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries held a 'HiMSEN Production Cumulative 15,000 Units Commemorative Event' with the participation of Han Joo-seok, Head of Engine and Machinery Business, HD Hyundai Marine Solutions President Lee Ki-dong, ship owner supervisors, overseas shipyards, and classification society officials.

At the event, Han Joo-seok, Head of Engine and Machinery Business at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, said, "The 'HiMSEN', a technological innovation achievement, is highly regarded not only in Korea but also around the world," and added, "We will continue to do our best to develop eco-friendly engines and improve product quality." The 4,320㎾-class HiMSEN engine (model name: 9H35DF), which was produced for the 15,000th time on this day, will be installed on a 16,000 TEU (1 TEU is one 20-foot container) container ship of Swiss company MSC, which is under construction at Yangtze River Shipbuilding in Jiangsu Province, China.

The HiMSEN engine is a 4-stroke medium-sized engine that HD Hyundai Heavy Industries developed with its own technology in August 2000 after more than 10 years of research.

Starting with the first 4 units produced in 2001, production has increased significantly every year, reaching 5,000 units in February 2011, 10 years after production began, and reaching 10,000 units in March 2016. It is planned to produce 1,000 units this year, and the backlog of orders is approximately 2,700 units.

Before the development of the HiMSEN engine, all domestic engine companies had been manufacturing products under license from overseas companies, but HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has been producing and applying its own engines 100% in the medium-sized engine sector since 2011. It currently exports to about 60 countries around the world, and has a 35% share of the market for medium-speed marine engines, ranking first in the world.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is strengthening its technological prowess by commercializing the 'HiMSEN Engine Status Remote Monitoring System' in 2015 and developing a 36,000 horsepower (26.4 MW) dual-fuel (DF) engine, which boasts the world's largest output among medium-sized engines, in 2019.

Recently, in response to strengthening environmental regulations, it is also focusing on developing eco-friendly fuel engines such as methanol and ammonia.

Last year, in the second quarter, the development of the new high-performance HiMSEN engine, the H32 model (3~4.5 MW class) methanol engine, was completed, and this year, the H22 model (1.4~2.2 MW class) ammonia engine is also under development. As a holding company, HD Hyundai is taking the lead in the engine aftermarket (maintenance market) business by establishing a cooperative system between group companies.

Through HD Hyundai Marine Solutions, it provides a one-stop aftermarket solution for all ships equipped with engines produced by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, not just HiMSEN engines.

Based on the technology of HiMSEN engines, it is promoting the 'licensing (patent use contract) business' and is also securing overseas bases in the marine engine market.

HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering started construction of the MAKEEN engine plant (150,000㎡), a joint venture established through joint investment with Saudi Aramco Development Company (SADCO) and Saudi Industrial Investment Corporation Dussur, in June of last year.

It is scheduled to begin full-scale engine production in the fourth quarter of 2025, and its maximum annual production capacity is 30 large marine engines, 235 medium-sized engines, and 160 marine pumps.
