The research is part of a long-standing collaboration between Lloyd's Register Foundation and Seoul National University, starting with the establishment in 2008 of this Lloyds Register Foundation Research Center. The research aims to develop innovative technologies in the domain of ship-design by conducting front-end research, particularly focusing on technical issues related to ship performance and risk in waves. Its goals are:

Addressing evidence gaps for standards and safer operations
Lloyd's Register Foundation has awarded £4 million to the university for research over the next five years. The research will concentrate on three areas where evidence gaps need to be addressed to drive the development of standards and safer operations. Firstly, design of fuel tanks and systems to reduce the safety risks associated with using alternative fuels; secondly, risk prediction and prevention, specifically addressing dynamic instability and loss of manoeuvrability in waves; and thirdly, development and application of digital techniques to enhance safety at sea.
it will help generate knowledge and evidence with potential to influence existing and new standards and regulations which are key to safer design and operation of ships in 21st century. Fifteen research projects, delivered in close collaboration with industry and international research partners, will tackle specific challenges related to decarbonisation (need for different fuel tank design for alternative fuels) and climate change (extreme weather causing risk of instability or loss of manoeuvrability).
Future safe keeping of maritime research
The project based at Lloyd’s Register Foundation Research Center for Safety of Future Ship at Seoul National University will significantly contribute to the safety and sustainability of future maritime operations.
