National Korea Maritime and Ocean University RIS Smart Port Logistics Business Division, AI Unmanned Automated Terminal Research Agreement

The RIS Smart Port Logistics Business Division of the National Korea Maritime and Ocean University (headed by Kim Yul-seong) announced that on the 27th, it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for research and development collaboration under the Local Government-University Cooperation-based Regional Innovation (RIS) project with Hanjin Busan Container Terminal (CEO Kim Gyu-kyung) and PISCESOFT (CEO Lee Chae-min).

Under this agreement, the institutions will collaborate on the joint development of an AI-based autonomous container transfer system, the creation of a smart port experiential simulation system, and academic exchanges, all aimed at strengthening industry-academia-research cooperation in smart port logistics.

This agreement establishes an important industry-academia-research collaboration framework in preparation for the future transition to automated ports. It includes the development of a digital twin system for port terminals in the Busan area and the creation of interconnected routes assuming the operation of autonomous vehicles (AMRs, IGVs, AYTs, etc.) within existing terminals.
