Pink Corridor transatlantic nuclear shipping project

Overview

The Pink Corridor project has been launched as a collaborative feasibility study to explore the establishment of a transatlantic maritime corridor for nuclear-powered container ships. The initiative involves major industry players, including Lloyd’s Register, A.P. Moller - Maersk, and the ports of Charleston in the United States and Felixstowe in the United Kingdom.

As part of the US-UK Technology Prosperity Deal, the project aims to analyze the regulatory, security, and operational requirements for the safe adoption of nuclear propulsion in commercial shipping. Rather than constructing physical vessels, partners are using a theoretical ship concept to simulate and identify potential challenges. Key areas of investigation include emergency management, reactor cybersecurity, insurance frameworks, and the alignment of maritime and nuclear regulatory expectations.
