HYUNDAI-HIMSEN – KOREAN TECHNOLOGY
Starting out as just a licensee engine making company in 1979 under the name of Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hyundai gained a wealth of experience in manufacturing medium speed and low speed diesel engines throughout the 1980s for already established engine makers. In the early 1990s, a long term R&D program for over ten years led to the development of Hyundai’s first indigenous engine – H21/32 – and its subsequent launch in 2001. What followed was years of technological advancement and widespread market penetration as Hyundai-HiMSEN engines became more and more commonplace on large oceangoing commercial vessels, especially as auxiliary engines, with the H21/32 engines gaining widespread popularity in particular. The H17/28 and H25/33 engines would also gain similar acceptance from the maritime industry. Even though much younger to its European and Japanese counterparts, Hyundai-HiMSEN engines have delivered performance just the same and have represented the advent of Korean technology in the marine industry,
Alang Maritime noticed the growing popularity of Hyundai-HiMSEN engines around 2015, and has already become a reliable independent supplier of Hyundai-HiMSEN engines and their spare parts through a dedicated stocking program as well as building strategic supply partnerships with international suppliers, so that our clients do not have to expand their search horizons.
