Ulstein has launched 'ULSTEIN THOR', a 149m Replenishment, Research and Rescue design which will feature a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) to generate vast amounts of clean, safe electricity.

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) and Seaborg signed a partnership to develop Floating Nuclear Power Plant combined with hydrogen and ammonia plants.

A new report from UK-based marine atomic developer CORE POWER shows that the US now has the ideal opportunity to demonstrate to the world the clear benefits of advanced nuclear technologies to decarbonize maritime transportation in its own domestic market.

The European Union has drawn up plans to label some natural gas and nuclear energy projects as "green" investments after a year-long battle between governments over which investments are truly climate-friendly.

Last GREEN4SEA Forum explored nuclear power as an alternative source of power. Now that there are very promising 4th generation reactors for advanced atomic, ships will not be releasing any emissions, as it there are no SOx, NOx, CO2 or particulates. In fact, considering the full energy cycle, atomic is millions of times more power-dense and cleaner compared to either fossil fuels or popular alternatives in the likes of methanol, ammonia and hydrogen.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded $8.5 million to help commercialize advanced nuclear technologies.

Russia deployed the nuclear-powered cargo ship Sevmorput at the Northern Sea Route (NSR), to deliver containers to Vladivostok.

A group of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) solved the biggest problem in the development of nuclear fusion power, which is the magnet.

Samsung Heavy Industries will collaborate with with the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) to develop nuclear-powered ships.

A team of researchers from Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Canada, conducted a study claiming that a small-scale nuclear reactor along with renewable energy sources can help shipping cut GHG emissions.
