Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization (NEMO), an organization focusing on the practical application of new nuclear solutions in the maritime industry, has welcomed three new members.
From July 1 to 3, 2024, OEGS Technology, Global Nuclear Security Partners, and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman became full members of NEMO, which continues to broaden and strengthen collaborative efforts in the maritime nuclear sector.
To remind, the association was created earlier this year by a group of companies with a common interest in developing nuclear energy solutions for the maritime sector.
“At NEMO, we are committed to fostering a collaborative and innovative environment, shaping modern maritime nuclear standards and regulations for a carbon-neutral future,” the organization said, adding that it is looking forward to the contributions and insights of the new members.
