The Nuclear Energy Maritime Organisation (NEMO)<\/strong> said maritime nuclear will only scale if regulatory frameworks, port access and insurance develop in step.<\/p>\n

Deployment of nuclear propulsion is now more of an integration challenge than a technology one, Virginia Crosbie<\/strong>, managing director of NEMO, said at a summit organised<\/a> by Core Power <\/strong>in the US<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Maritime nuclear is not a technology problem,” Crosbie said at the New Nuclear for Maritime: A New Era summit.<\/p>\n

“It is an integration challenge.”<\/p>\n

“We will only scale if regulation, classification, liability and insurance, and port access move together in a way that is safe, insurable and internationally workable.”<\/p>\n

The event, convened by UK<\/strong>-based maritime nuclear firm Core Power, brought together industry and regulatory stakeholders to discuss pathways for commercialising nuclear energy in the maritime sector.<\/p>\n

Crosbie joined a panel on regulatory actions alongside representatives from Core Power, Hogan Lovells, ABS Group <\/strong>and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Advocates argue nuclear propulsion could offer a zero-emissions option for deep-sea shipping, particularly for larger vessels and long-distance routes where battery-electric solutions remain impractical.<\/p>\n

While nuclear energy has been used in naval vessels, its adoption in commercial shipping has been hindered by regulatory and safety concerns.<\/p>\n

Recently, IMO<\/strong>‘s sub-committee announced <\/a>it has started work to develop a safety framework to support the use of nuclear technologies in shipping.<\/p>\n

NEMO is an international group promoting safe and sustainable floating nuclear power and nuclear-powered shipping.<\/p>\n
