We continue to build knowledge in the field of Maritime Nuclear Propulsion. We invite you to a day where we bring together experts from the maritime nuclear value chain.

The members of the GCE Blue Maritime Cluster are pioneering innovation in maritime propulsion. These research projects have garnered international attention. 

The second NUPROSHIP Project, led by NTNU and Jan Emblemsvåg, is well on its way exploring the commercialization of nuclear propulsion. Things are gaining traction, and by February, more big news is expected. 

Simultaneously, several international projects are now gaining traction, and we will gather several of the pioneers in the business in Ålesund on this day for a day of experience sharing. 

Many steps in development are still needed before nuclear propulsion becomes a reality on commercial ships. Nevertheless, we deem it important to stay  in front of this progress as we see a growing potential for Nuclear Power becoming one of the cornerstones in the green maritime transition. 

So, if you wish to get the latest updates from the major research projects, speak with suppliers in the maritime nuclear value chain, learn more about the regulatory landscape, or just gain insights into the potential opportunities, save the date and sign up now.
