Safety and security without compromise

Safety and security without compromise

Maritime nuclear brings together nuclear and maritime requirements. We support clear, practical arrangements for safe and secure deployment.

Our guiding principle is safety and security without compromise, with the highest standards of safety, security, safeguards, and operational excellence embedded from the start.

Creating a framework for maritime nuclear

Creating a framework for maritime nuclear

Commercial maritime nuclear deployment requires clear arrangements across nuclear regulation, maritime safety, security, safeguards, classification and insurance. Our work helps identify how these requirements apply to ship-based nuclear systems and where further development or coordination is needed.
Responsibility today spans the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), national regulators, flag states, port and coastal authorities. We aim to support clear responsibilities, aligned standards, and repeatable pathways to deployment.

Building international confidence

Building international confidence

We contribute technical expertise to international discussions on maritime nuclear. Our specialists have participated in IMO discussions through industry delegations and contributed to work by the Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization (NEMO) examining how existing IAEA safety guidance applies to nuclear merchant ships.
We also participate in discussions through the IAEA’s Atomic Technologies Licensed for Applications at Sea (ATLAS) initiative, bringing the practical requirements of maritime deployment into wider coordination between industry and public authorities. National and other competent authorities retain responsibility for approval decisions.

Putting regulatory work into practice

Putting regulatory work into practice

Our cooperation with the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) addresses the wider conditions needed for U.S.-flagged nuclear-powered commercial shipping. At Corpus Christi, our collaboration examines readiness for floating nuclear power and future nuclear-powered ship visits.

Our Rotterdam port-call study with Maersk, Lloyd’s Register, and the Port of Rotterdam identifies safety, regulatory, and operational considerations within a defined vessel-and-port scenario. Together, these workstreams help identify the evidence and arrangements needed for future deployment decisions.

Ship-based nuclear energy can strengthen energy security, support industrial growth, and expand access to reliable power. Realizing that potential takes leadership, collaboration, and regulatory frameworks built for the realities of maritime deployment.
We are helping build those frameworks.
