Incheon Metropolitan City (IMC) in the country’s northwest will build the test centre to support Korea’s fast-emerging marine renewables sector.
IMC has signed a co-operation agreement with the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) that will see the Scottish facility provide technical assistance on design and operational issues.
Although described as “very tough to work in”, the waters off Korea offer some of the world’s most active tidal conditions, says EMEC.
