Information and communications technology provider for the maritime industry, eMARINE Global, has signed a contract with the Republic of Korea Navy for the maintenance of its Anti-Submarine Warfare Team Trainer (ASWTT) at the Jin-Hae Naval Base.
The contract is valued at an estimated 920 million won (US$0.76 million).
eMARINE has maintained the ASWTT virtual reality simulator, used to simulate battles between warships and submarines, since 2017.
The simulator technology was developed by Sindel, an Italian technology company.
“Our success and track record of excellence in providing maintenance for the ASWTT system, combined with good customer references, places eMARINE in an advantageous position to secure work on the second ASWTT installation planned for the Dong-Hae Naval Base,” stated Ung Gyu Kim, chairman and CEO. “The new installation at Dong-Hae, scheduled to start in early 2020, is budgeted at 23 billion won (US$19 million) over two years.”
