In the future, we plan to sequentially visit the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA) and Kobe University’s Faculty of Maritime Sciences to strengthen ties with other distinguished global maritime universities and establish connections for maritime officer training programs, as well as mutual recognition of training periods.” The KMOU’s Hanbada was built in 2005 with only Korean technology and is a training ship with an overall length of 117.2 meters, a gross tonnage of 6,686 tons (t), and a maximum speed of 19 knots.
