Unique security capabilities

The only organisation in the world to offer a high-security Category 1 nuclear shipping capability.

Our shipping expertise has been used to safely and securely deliver a number of high-profile ‘Category 1’ nuclear transport operations in the UK and for customers around the world.  

These complex shipping operations help to support global security efforts to secure sensitive nuclear materials and reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation.  

High security shipping 

The vessels we operate come with additional security features and physical protection systems that enable them to transport sensitive materials including MOX fuel, highly enriched uranium and plutonium dioxide.  

Our unique high-security shipping capabilities help customers and governments deliver important nuclear security agreements and make the world a safer place. 

A secure partnership 

Our unique access to the UK’s Civil Nuclear Constabulary Strategic Escort Group means we can provide a maritime guard force when security regulations require it.
