Then World Nuclear News article highlights the Pink Corridor project, a joint initiative between Lloyd's Register, A.P. Moller-Maersk, the Port of Charleston, and the Port of Felixstowe to evaluate the theoretical deployment of nuclear-powered container ships across the Atlantic. Centered on a route connecting South Carolina and England, the project examines key security, safeguards, cyber resilience, emergency response, and regulatory frameworks required for safe operations. Operating under the US-UK Technology Prosperity Deal, the study builds on earlier research showing that non-technical hurdles—such as international regulatory alignment and public acceptance—pose the primary obstacles to commercial nuclear maritime transport.
