Techcross and DSME sign agreement for patent technology transfer
2022-09-20



VRCS patent technology applied to icebreaker LNG carriers 

would have a positive effect on Techcross’ existing VRCS technology.

 

 On September 19, Techcross, the global No. 1 manufacturer of ballast water management system, signed a technology transfer agreement with DSME (Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering) for a patent of the 'LNG Carrier's VRCS (Valve Remote Control System). It is the full-fledged implementation of what was discussed at the technology transfer conference held at the KICOX (Korea Industrial Complex Corporation) in June.

 

The patent guarantees its technology and safety enough to perform even at an extreme temperature of minus 52 degrees Celsius and was also applied to the world's first icebreaker LNG vessel that DSME won an order. For the convenience of users, centering around the ballast water management system, Techcross also expanded its service lineup to TLGS (Tank Level Gauging System) and VRCS, as well as IBTV (Integrated BWMS, TLGS, VRCS), an integrated platform which enables users to control all these systems with a single operation. This contract will be a great opportunity for Techcross to take VRCS technology to the next level, provided for LNG carriers.

 

A person in charge of this agreement expressed a positive opinion by saying, “DSME and Techcross were able to transfer this patented technology based on mutual trust which had been built up through reliable supply of BWMS over years. We expect this contract to be a milestone for mutual synergy in the future business of both parties.”
