SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 03, 2017 -- eMARINE Global, Inc. (OTC:EMRN), a leading provider of information and communications technology for the maritime industry, is pleased to announce it was awarded a maintenance contract from the Republic of Korea Navy (ROK Navy) for work through 2018.

eMARINE Global has been servicing the ROK Navy continuously since 2012, providing routine maintenance and chart updates for the electronic charts display and information systems (ECDIS) onboard 200 Korean naval vessels. The latest contract extends this relationship and expands it to more than 215 vessels. The contract is valued at approximately US$720,000.

“The continuation of our work with the ROK Navy is a strong testament to the quality of our product and service offerings,” stated Ung Gyu Kim, Chairman and CEO of eMARINE Global. “We currently maintain 90% market share of the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) business from the Korean Navy and Coast Guard and plan to leverage this success as we seek to expand regionally and globally.”

In addition to the ROK Navy, eMARINE Global’s customer base includes Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries, and the Korea Coast Guard.

eMARINE Global became a publicly-traded company in July 2017 through a reverse merger with Pollex Inc. and officially changed its name and ticker symbol in September 2017.

Ung Gyu Kim stated, “Becoming a publicly-traded company in the US is a major milestone for our company. We believe it greatly improves our positioning as we seek to replicate the track record of success we’ve generated in Korea, in the US and beyond. I look forward to sharing our future successes with you as we seek to grow shareholder value in the quarters and years ahead.”
