Maersk joins nuclear powered containership study
Maersk is keeping all its green propulsion open, including green methanol, bio-LNG and, maybe at some future date, nuclear. It has signed a joint develop project agreement that sees it join Lloyd’s Register (LR) and nuclear marine propulsion specialist Core Power in launching a joint regulatory assessment study. The study will conduct research on the regulatory feasibility and frameworks that would need to be established for a nuclear powered containership using a fourth-generation reactor to...

“Atomic batteries” for maritime come one step nearer
Though nuclear power is widely seen as a promising option for future zero-carbon ship propulsion, the new types of reactor being proposed for ships are still under development. The good news is that the technology is getting nearer. London-based Core Power (UK) Ltd., which plans to build “atomic batteries” for ships based on molten salt reactor (MSR) technology, reports that development has taken a huge step forward with the successful start of pumped-salt operations at a dedicated facility in...
