| “Nuclear is a commercial shipping disruptor” – ABS CEO |
| The latest batch of videos from our New Nuclear for Maritime summit, which took place in Houston, TX last month, is now online – with more insights from experts and commentators that show the industry is waking up to CORE POWER’s potential. Chief among them was Chris Wiernicki, CEO of the American Bureau of Shipping. In a ‘fireside chat’ session with CORE POWER CEO Mikal Bøe, he voiced his belief that nuclear could transform... |

Lloyd’s Register, a UK-based classification society and professional advisory service, will become one of the first maritime organisations to use generative AI for permitting capabilities built upon Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, to bridge the gap between terrestrial and maritime applications.
The capabilities are designed to enhance the regulatory process for nuclear technology and will be used by Lloyd’s Register to advance the deployment of nuclear in maritime applications.
Azure’s...
The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) has published the final two reports in a series of six, focused on alternative fuels and decarbonization technologies. The reports were contracted from a consortium led by ABS, which includes CE Delft, Arcsilea and Texas A&M University.
A 360-degree analysis of nuclear power and synthetic fuels, specifically the renewable e-fuels of e-diesel, e-methane and e-methanol, complete a project for EMSA designed to support the European Commission, EU member...

New paper proposes framework to support UK development of advanced, safe, small nuclear reactors as a reliable and scalable zero-emission maritime power source.
The UK is well positioned to lead the safe development and deployment of new nuclear power systems for commercial ships and Floating Nuclear Power Plants (FNPPs), according to a new report from CORE POWER, NorthStandard and Lloyd’s Register (LR).
Technology company CORE POWER, global marine insurer NorthStandard and maritime professional...
Hyundai ha presentado un innovador diseño de buque portacontenedores impulsado por energía nuclear, capaz de transportar hasta 15.000 contenedores. Este avance se basa en la implementación de reactores modulares pequeños (SMR, por sus siglas en inglés), una tecnología que promete transformar el sector naval hacia prácticas más sostenibles y eficientes. A diferencia de los buques […]

“New nuclear technology is a global decarbonization solution and a commercial shipping disruptor. There is no net zero by 2050 without nuclear.” That was the view from ABS chairman and CEO Christopher J. Wiernicki, speaking at a Houston event organized by Core Power.
“New nuclear is a transformational technology. It disrupts the commercial model, the economics of shipping, as well as the operation of vessels and of course their design,” said Wiernicki. “Not only does it offer zero carbon...
