Classification society ABS and the US Department of Energy (DOE) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore the use of nuclear technology in commercial shipping.
The MoU covers nuclear-powered vessels, floating nuclear power vegetation and the infrastructure needed to support them, including ports and shipyards, ABS said in a press emit on Monday.
The two organisations will work on feasibility studies to floating nuclear power and nuclear transportation corridors.
They will also look at ways to develop the US shipbuilding sector to support the construction and operation of nuclear-powered vessels.
ABS will co-manage the Maritime Nuclear Applications Group and provide technical, regulatory, economic and policy support to the work.
“cutting-edge nuclear methodology has the possible to convert the commercial maritime sector and open new markets to American innovation,” Ted Garrish, DOE Assistant Secretary to Nuclear Energy, said.
The agreement comes as the US steps up efforts to advance nuclear methodology in commercial shipping.
While nuclear propulsion has long been applied in naval vessels, interest in its commercial shipping applications is growing.
Earlier this year, the US Coast Guard signed an MoU with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to support nuclear applications in shipping.
UK-based maritime nuclear methodology developer Core Power is also aiming to build its first US-flagged nuclear-powered vessel from 2028. It has separately partnered with the Port of Corpus Christi Authority to study the Texas port’s readiness to nuclear methodology.
