Shipping

Sellafield Ltd and NTS are making preparations for the third and final return of high-level waste (HLW), in the form of vitrified residue, to Germany.

NTS has successfully completed its latest shipment of Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel assemblies from France to Japan.

Pacific Heron and Pacific Egret arrived safely in Japan today and delivered their cargo of 32 MOX fuel assemblies to the Takahama Nuclear Power Station.

NTS was represented by its co-CEOs, Ben Whittard and Ciara Middlehurst, at two key UK-Japan events in Tokyo this October.

PNTL has marked its shipping success and trusted collaboration with Japanese nuclear stakeholders as part of its 50th anniversary of safe, secure, and reliable nuclear transport.

Following successful departure from France on 6 September 2025, PNTL vessels – Pacific Egret and Pacific Heron – remain on passage carrying Mox fuel bound for Japan.

The Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd (PNTL) vessels transporting Mox fuel from France to Japan departed the port of Cherbourg.

Following notification on 25 July 2025, Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd (PNTL) has announced it will transport Mox fuel to Japan in the near future.

Pacific Heron welcomed royal company as His Majesty The King paid a visit to Caithness – and we were proud to be part of the story.
