Greek shipowners to play pivotal role in nuclear development for maritime | Shipping reports

Greek shipowners are set to play a key role in the development of nuclear for the maritime sector. The commitment was clear at ARGO: New Nuclear for Greek Maritime, held in Athens last week, where leading shipowners and operators gathered to discuss the sector’s rapid development.

Christopher J. Wiernicki, chairman and CEO of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), underscored nuclear’s potential as a long-term solution for the sector.

“Nuclear energy is no longer a distant possibility for maritime applications, it is emerging as a legitimate, practical, and scalable solution for a wide range of strategic uses. It is a credible long-term solution, not simply because of its potential to reduce emissions, but because it offers unmatched energy density, reliability, and strategic independence.”

At the Summit, over 120 high-level industry leaders welcomed the increasing pace of development to bring nuclear for maritime to both commercial shipping and floating nuclear power plants
