Hyundai Glovis is promoting the operation of a pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) powered by a small modular reactor (SMR) in partnership with a U.S. logistics company.
Hyundai Glovis announced on the 6th that on the 30th of last month (local time) it signed an “MOU for Joint Review of Operating a Korea–U.S. Route for SMR-powered PCTCs” with Liberty Global Logistics (LGL) in Jericho, New York State, United States. LGL is a transport company whose main business is the carriage of government cargo, including for the U.S. Department of Defense.
Under the agreement, the two companies plan to jointly review the feasibility of constructing SMR-powered vessels to be deployed on logistics transportation between Korea and the United States, as well as commercial operation strategies. A Hyundai Glovis representative stated, “In June this year, we obtained Approval in Principle (AIP) for the conceptual design from Lloyd’s Register, a global classification society,” adding, “Having received certification of technical feasibility, we will verify a wide range of conditions for actual commercial operation.”
