PNTL Safety Overview


Pacific Nuclear Transport Limited (PNTL) is the world’s most experienced shipper of nuclear cargoes. Its ships are dedicated to the transportation of nuclear material that is classified by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of the United Nations at its highest level of “Class INF 3”. The “INF Code” regulates shipments by sea of used (spent) fuel, plutonium and highly radioactive waste.

The pioneering safety design of PNTL vessels has set the standard for international regulations established by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

Additional barriers have been engineered to separate the outside environment from the nuclear cargo being transported by PNTL.

“So the upshot is that an accident of any kind is unlikely to happen...and the environmental damage done by any conceivable accident would be thousands of times less than that done by a single oil spill.”

Professor H.W. Lewis,
Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of California,
Former Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Risk Assessment Review Group, Member of the President’s Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee,
August 1997
