Princess Anne visited the shipyard of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. in Ulsan, South Korea, on July 14 to review the company's shipbuilding capabilities and discuss bilateral maritime cooperation. Yonhap reported that the visit occurred during the princess' three-day trip to South Korea with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
She is the younger sister of Britain's King Charles III. During the visit, Princess Anne met with HD Hyundai Chairman Chung Ki-sun. The chairman introduced the company's advanced shipbuilding technologies and its partnerships with British firms.
