HD Hyundai and the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) signed a Joint Development Agreement to create a nuclear-powered electric propulsion system for 16,000 TEU container ships. The project includes basic design, electrical equipment specifications, and layout design, focusing on integrating Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology to provide up to 100MW of power.

HD Hyundai plans to implement a customized power management system and a twin screw propeller propulsion system to improve efficiency. Safety standards will align with International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regulations. This initiative is part of HD Hyundai's strategy to advance carbon-free shipping technology.
