Denmark's Maersk explores nuclear power with Lloyd's Register and CORE POWER for sustainable energy in container vessels.

Denmark's biggest shipping firm, Maersk, is exploring nuclear power as a sustainable energy source for its container vessels. It is jointly studying with British companies Lloyd's Register and CORE POWER the use of small modular reactors (SMRs) to potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet international climate targets. The collaboration will undertake a joint study to evaluate the safety and regulatory considerations of a future nuclear-propelled feeder ship, which could lead to emissions-free operations and increased efficiency in the supply chain.
