Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. (DSME) plans to set up a global research and development alliance to develop state-of-the-art shipbuilding technologies to sharpen its competitive edge in the construction of eco-friendly ships and smart ships.
DSME will establish the R&D alliance with five ship quality assurance and risk management companies, four universities, and five research institutes.

The four universities are South Korea's Seoul National University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Michigan of the US, and the University of Strathclyde of the UK.
The five-ship quality assurance and risk management companies are South Korea's Korean Register of Shipping, American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyd's Register of Shipping of Britain, Bureau Veritas of France, and Norway's Det Norske Veritas.
The five research institutes in DSME's list are South Korea's KRISO, Italy's CNR, Norway's SINTEF Ocean, Sweden's SSPA, and Germany's HSVA.
