Launch of the Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization (NEMO)

HD Hyundai Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HSOE) announced the formation of the Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization (NEMO) in partnership with global nuclear energy entities. NEMO aims to assist national and international regulators in developing standards for floating nuclear power deployment, operation, and decommissioning. The organization seeks to provide expert guidance to nuclear and maritime regulators at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

NEMO focuses on bridging the gap between existing regulations in the nuclear and maritime industries through collaboration with nuclear regulators, maritime regulators, class societies, and insurers. The organization aims to educate stakeholders on the benefits and challenges of floating nuclear power in decarbonizing heavy industry and transport. NEMO’s diverse membership from both industries ensures expertise, innovation, and a commitment to safety and environmental protection.

NEMO’s collaborative efforts aim to establish a regulatory pathway for novel atomic technologies to address climate change. The organization invites participation from all interested parties to shape a future where advanced nuclear technology plays a crucial role in creating a cleaner, more sustainable maritime environment. NEMO aspires to lead the maritime energy revolution and navigate the challenges of integrating floating nuclear power into the maritime industry.
