The Case for Nuclear Marine Propulsion for Cargo Ships
What is Nuclear Marine Propulsion? Nuclear marine propulsion refers to the use of nuclear power to generate heat and electricity to power a ship. It uses small-scale nuclear reactors to sustain controlled nuclear fission reactions that generate heat. The heat generates steam, which in turn powers turbines. The turbines are then used to power main…

Wind propulsion systems will power ships and cut emissions
Introduction The maritime industry is also evolving to fight climate change and global warming. One way of doing this has been to research and implement renewable energy sources to propel and power ships. Wind propulsion systems are an option among several others to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and associated emissions. While this technology has…
