European Shearwater (1981)
The European Shearwater is an INF 3 classified ship operated by the NDA, which took over ownership from BNFL in 2005. The European Shearwater is designed to the same standards as the PNTL fleet but is smaller, at 80 metres in length and with a beam (width) of 12.5 metres. The European Shearwater transports used nuclear fuel, used research reactor fuel and plutonium dioxide, principally around Europe.
Atlantic Osprey (1986)
The Atlantic Osprey is an INF 2 classified multi-purpose general cargo vessel operated by the NDA, which took over ownership from BNFL in 2005. She has a lift-on/off capability through hatches together with drive on capabilities via a stern door which, when open, becomes the access ramp for vehicles. The vessel (formerly known as the Arneb) was purchased by BNFL in 2001 and extensively refurbished to meet its operational requirements. She transports used research reactor fuel and MOX fuel and, unlike the PNTL vessels and the European Shearwater, the Atlantic Osprey is also chartered to transport non-nuclear materials.
