[ KLCSM Vessel Control Center - Remote monitoring and support for LNG supply by STS ] 

KLCSM (CEO Park Chan-min), Korea's leading ship management carried out safely and perfectly to supply LNG bunkering 

through SHIP TO SHIP (hereinafter referred to as STS) by supporting ICT-based remote technology.

It had been proceeded  for "SM JEJU LNG 2" vessel at Samsung Heavy Industries' Geoje shipyard for three days
