LR Class identifies Nuclear Sector as a potential game-changer for the shipping and offshore industries. Nuclear-powered ships, could offer a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fuels.
Nuclear power stands out for its unparalleled energy density and its ability to operate without emitting any SOx, NOx, CO2, or particulates. It’s a technology that could ptoentially make an impact in commercial shipping, particularly for deep-sea voyages.

Report considers the increasing demand from ports to supply low-carbon power to cold-iron vessels, especially visiting containerships and cruise ships. As a result a Floating Nuclear Power Plant was designed having a goal to supply to the shore grid already installed, additional electric power to increase the available energy and support maritime decarbonization at ports.
LR in addition, is identifying Readiness Levels of Nuclear Reactors by Reactor Concept.
This readiness level view, explores Technology maturity on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 9 (highest), and both required Investment and Community awareness on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 6 (highest).
