KRISO, which started as a ship research institute affiliated with the Korea Research Institute of Science and Technology in 1973, has contributed to the development of Korea's shipbuilding and marine industry through continuous research and development in the field of marine and marine plants. KRISO, which took a leap forward as an affiliated institution of the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology in 2014, is striving to discover the infinite value of the sea and to research and develop better marine engineering technology by securing various application technologies and new source technologies in preparation for the 4th Industrial Revolution. KRISO will move forward even more vigorously as a world-class research institute that leads the future maritime industry beyond Korea.
