The NuProShip II project, funded by the Research Council of Norway, demonstrates the technical feasibility of nuclear-powered DP vessels, researching the possibility of nuclear reactors contributing to efficiency, reliability, and environmental responsibility for the maritime industry.

 

VARD recently finalized the development of a concept design for a nuclear-powered construction vessel based on its existing reference concept. The study investigates the feasibility of integrating a helium gas-cooled nuclear reactor as the primary power source and evaluates its implications for vessel layout, safety, and overall system performance.

London-based Union Maritime has taken delivery of the Long Range 2 tanker, Spa, built by China’s Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. The LNG dual-fuel vessel is fitted with two WindWings from UK wind sail  company, Bar Technologies. 

The tanker, claimed to be the most advanced LR2 on the water, has been designed to slash emissions without compromising operational efficiency and strong commercial performance. The vessel is one of the company’s LR2 newbuild series, each of which will be named after Formula 1 circuits. A sister vessel is due for delivery from the Chinese builder in March. 

The Spa is intended to comply
