America intends to develop a nuclear-powered commercial fleet to oppose China
The United States announced its plans to build a commercial fleet powered by nuclear energy in order to counter China's increasing dominance in the global commercial shipbuilding industry. A collaboration between the Trump administration and a British company, Core Power, aims to accelerate the development of nuclear propulsion technologies for ships and establish a regulatory framework that expedites ship licensing and improves access to ports while ensuring the highest safety standards. Construction of the first nuclear-powered vessel is scheduled to begin in 2028, with the goal of flying the American flag, addressing challenges related to costs, legal liability, and insurance. It is expected that nuclear ships will have lower operational costs and greater speeds, thereby enhancing the United States' ability to compete with China in this field.
