The UK is taking a decisive step towards leading the global race to decarbonise shipping with the launch of the Maritime Nuclear Consortium.
Convened by Lloyd’s Register (LR), the group unites leading expertise from the nuclear, maritime, insurance and regulatory sectors to set the highest international standards for safe, secure and commercially viable nuclear-powered ships.
Maritime nuclear power is a proven, advanced and safe energy source that can tackle one of the toughest challenges in the energy transition.
The next generation of advanced modular reactors (AMRs) will allow ships to sail for years without refuelling, with zero carbon emissions and rigorous safety built in from the start.
Nuclear produces no CO₂. Reactors run for years, not weeks. With no need to trade efficiency for emissions standards, ships can run at full design speed instead of slow steaming.
The core membership includes:
- Lloyd’s Register (Lead, Safety & Secretariat)
- Rolls-Royce (Reactor Design)
- Babcock International Group (Ship Design, Construction and
