Bunker fuel can't carry decarbonization

Shipping moves 90% of global trade by burning heavy fossil fuels, and IMO 2050 targets demand net-zero levels that alternative fuels and batteries cannot deliver on long routes. Nuclear propulsion offers near-unlimited range, but it requires a license for every flag, every port and every hull class: a barrier no shipyard can handle alone today.

FORGE marinized propulsion

Compact FORGE reactor adapted to hull pitch, roll and shock loads, with containment sized for collision and sinking scenarios. The design is pre-qualified for the major classification societies.

AEGIS multi-flag licensing

AEGIS manages cross-authorizations between flag State, coastal States and port States, keeping the licensing dossier synchronized for every call. Every port waiver and condition is tracked per individual vessel.

CORTEX onboard safety

CORTEX continuously verifies that onboard procedures and reactor logs conform to the IMO code and class conditions. Anomalies are classified and worked up before the vessel reaches port.

PULSE fleet operations

PULSE monitors the whole fleet from shore: core status, refueling cycles and maintenance windows planned against actual routes. A single operations center follows dozens of hulls underway.

Route study

We analyze vessel classes, routes and ports of call to define the propulsion profile and the map of licenses required.

Marinization

We adapt the FORGE reactor to the hull and take the design to class with the classification society and the flag State.

First vessel

We build and certify the lead vessel, with a trained crew and the PULSE shore operations center live.

Fleet series

We replicate the design across follow-on hulls and industrialize licensing and maintenance across the entire fleet.

Containment for marine scenarios

Containment is sized for collision and sinking, and the design is pre-qualified for the major classification societies (DNV, Lloyd's Register, ABS), so a maritime incident does not become a nuclear one.

Traced multi-flag licensing

Every port waiver and condition is tracked per individual vessel, with cross-authorizations between flag State, coastal States and port States kept consistent at every call.

Continuous onboard safety

CORTEX continuously verifies that reactor procedures and logs conform to the IMO code and class conditions, classifying anomalies before the vessel reaches port.

Material security at sea

Fuel chain-of-custody control and 24/7 shore fleet monitoring address maritime security and non-proliferation requirements even in international waters.

How do you get licensed to call at a foreign port?

AEGIS manages cross-authorizations between flag State, coastal States and port States, keeping a licensing dossier synchronized for every call. Every port waiver and condition is tracked per vessel, so access to a new port becomes a documented extension rather than a fresh negotiation.

What range does a nuclear-powered ship have?

Over five years between refuelings, with zero CO2 emissions underway. Nuclear propulsion offers near-unlimited range on the long routes where alternative fuels and batteries cannot meet IMO 2050 targets.

Who operates the reactor onboard?

A trained, certified crew runs the ship, while the PULSE shore operations center monitors core status, refueling cycles and maintenance windows across the whole fleet 24/7. Onboard conduct is backed by a complete picture no single crew could hold alone.

What happens in a collision or sinking?

Containment is sized for exactly these scenarios and the design is pre-qualified by classification societies to withstand hull shock, pitch and roll. The design goal is that a maritime incident never becomes a nuclear one.
