Busan, Korea – 12 September 2011: AVEVA (LSE:AVV), a leader in engineering design and information management solutions for the plant, power and marine industries, announced today that SungDong Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. (SungDong) has extended its contract for the use of AVEVA Marine to drive the design of commercial vessels. The new licenses will be used throughout its four shipyards in Korea for the design and production of vessels which include bulk carriers, container carriers and FSOs (Floating Storage & Offloading).
SungDong selected AVEVA as its key solution partner due to its outstanding record in hull and outfitting solutions as well as the suitability of the AVEVA solutions for offshore design and production.

Following SungDong Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. establishment in 2001, the shipbuilder has quickly become one of the world’s top ten shipbuilding enterprises producing a broad range of commercial vessel and, more recently, offshore projects.
“AVEVA is the natural choice for international companies engaged in shipbuilding and offshore projects such as those at SungDong”, said SungDong Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. “Throughout our company’s growth, the design and production support of commercial vessels has been built around AVEVA solutions.
