The work leverages Herbert Engineering’s expertise in naval architecture to incorporate novel arrangements and equipment into conventional vessel types. With insights from ABS on classification and regulatory requirements, the concept vessel designs are first looks at novel arrangements.  \nThis forward-looking concept investigating advanced nuclear technologies is not intended to be aligned with IMO Resolution A. 491(XII) at this stage. The goal of creating concept vessel designs is to begin the iterative design process at a high level, conceptualize the potential hazards of the new technology and prepare implementation of engineering solutions to address potential risks. The regulatory aspects of concept vessel design recommends that a risk analysis be used. As with all introductions of new technology, close collaborations with flag Administrationsand port States will be necessary as the designs continue to evolve.  \nIn addition to previous studies investigating a nuclear-powered containershi","cbCaid74t6fm0sZE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid74t6fm0sZE","pdf",6448812,16,"English","# Forward\n# Introduction\n# 1.
