Offshore pipeline installation, heavy lift, and subsea construction contractor Allseas has launched a five-year plan to pioneer nuclear technology to optimize operations for energy-intensive offshore vessels and industrial clusters. Describing nuclear as “the next frontier” , the company noted that the move comes as alternative fuels like hydrogen, methanol and ammonia are facing limitations in availability, scalability and cost.
As part of the five-year roadmap, Allseas is looking to design, develop and deploy an advanced nuclear power system, a small modular reactor (SMR), tailored for integration into offshore vessels and onshore industrial clusters, said to deliver stable, high-density, zero-emissions energy in remote and demanding environments.
