AB - This study analyzes regional technological capabilities in ammonia-fueled ship research by integrating data from national R&D projects (2019–2023), academic publications (2019–2024), and patents (2019–2023), and compares the relative technological position of Busan against major competing regions in Korea. The results reveal that Busan ranked first nationwide in both the number of national R&D projects and total research funding, positioning the Southeast region as a major cluster of related research activities. In the publication analysis, Busan ranked first nationwide in the number of publications per 1,000 researchers, while the patent analysis confirmed a specialization structure linked to application and operation-oriented ship technologies. These findings provide empirical evidence for Busan’s technological competitiveness and offer policy implications for regional industrial strategy and R&D planning in the ammonia-fueled ship sector.
