  EU ports may already have a starting point for nuclear-powered shipping - study

Read more Future rules for nuclear-powered shipping could build on the safety and regulatory frameworks being developed for ammonia and hydrogen bunker fuels at EU ports, a new study has found.
  
  The joint study was conducted by UK-based CORE POWER, shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk, the Port of Rotterdam and classification society Lloyd's Register.
  
  The report examined the safety and regulatory considerations associated with a nuclear-powered feeder vessel calling at a major European port.
  
  It found that the main barriers to commercial nuclear-powered ships calling at EU ports stem from regulatory and governance gaps rather than technical limitations.
  
  Existing regulations do not clearly cover commercial nuclear-powered ships, while ports lack guidance on nuclear licensing, insurance and liability requirements for visiting vessels, according to the study.
  
  To address these barriers, the report recommends that ports, regulators and industry begin developing guidance and regulatory frameworks for nuclear-powered vessels.
  
  The study noted that EU ports are already developing governance structures covering safety, licensing, permitting and industry partnerships for “high-risk” alternative fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen.
  
  These safety and regulatory frameworks could provide a foundation for the future rules for nuclear-powered shipping in these ports, with any remaining gaps addressed through additional regulatory measures and industry collaboration, it said.
  
  Near-term actions include public engagement, advancing vessel designs, applying existing port safety methodologies to nuclear ship scenarios and developing national regulatory approaches alongside international efforts, the study recommended.
  
  The report also calls for ship-specific guidance for nuclear-powered vessels covering emergency response, berthing, training, insurance and liability, as well as the integration of nuclear provisions into international maritime regulations and standards over the longer term. Source: ENGIИE

  Oil slips $4 as US, Iran reach peace deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Brent crude futures... Read more Oil prices slipped to their lowest since March on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran’s deputy foreign minister said they had reached an initial deal to end the war and to resume traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  Brent crude futures fell $4.08, or 4.7%, to $83.25 a barrel by 0415 GMT and U.S. West Texas Intermediate was at $80.53, down $4.35, or 5.1%. Both contracts fell to their lowest levels since March 10 on Monday after tumbling more than 3% on Friday.
  
  The U.S. and Iran will sign a memorandum of understanding in Switzerland on Friday, said the prime minister of Pakistan, whose country has served as a mediator. Trump said on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz would be open "toll free" and that a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports would also end.
  
  Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency said the draft deal called for reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian arrangements.
  
  "The geopolitical risk premium that had been built into crude is now being unwound quite aggressively as traders price in the prospect of restored oil flows," said Tim Waterer, chief ⁠market analyst at KCM Trade.
  
  The world has lost millions of barrels of oil and gas supply since the war closed the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, for more than three months.
  
  Investors are also watching cautiously how quickly Middle Eastern producers can resume oil production and exports following damage from the war and whether more ships will enter the region.
  
  "While these uncertainties suggest upside risks to our forecast for Brent oil futures to reach $80/bbl by the end of the year, it’s worth noting that oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz just needs to reach 60-70% of pre-war levels to return oil markets to pre-war oversupply expectations," Vivek Dhar, a commodities strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, said in a note.
  
  Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, said a more expansive agreement would be negotiated during a 60-day ceasefire period.
  
  E4 nations, which include the UK, France, Germany and Italy, said on Sunday the countries were prepared to lift sanctions on Iran in response to steps on its nuclear programme.
  
  "Beyond the immediate price reaction, attention will now shift toward the pace of actual supply normalization and compliance with the agreement," said Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova.
  
  "While the conflict may have come to an end and oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz may gradually return to normal, the damage already done cannot be reversed overnight. This includes not only any physical damage to oil infrastructure but also the economic strain endured by oil importing economies that have faced elevated energy costs for months."

  Nuclear Drives “All of the Above” Trend in Energy Security

Read more Japan plans to rebuild over a dozen nuclear reactors by 2050; China is building seven new ones this year alone; in the U.S., two companies are building a hybrid nuclear-and-gas power plant; Germany admitted killing nuclear was a big mistake. Nuclear is back—and it makes the backbone of a new approach to energy security.
  
  “We clearly need more nuclear power and we’re bullish on it,” the president of Microsoft, Brad Smith said recently, as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, which reported that nuclear is back in favor with everyone, but especially Big Tech. Microsoft is among the tech majors investing in nuclear generation to power its AI data centers, effectively admitting that hopes and dreams of low-carbon wind and solar reliance would never become a reality. Nuclear remains the only reliable, (dispatchable), low-carbon form of energy—and it is also a lot less vulnerable to geopolitical price swings than oil and gas.
  
  Japan is a good case in point. Following the 2011 Fukushima disaster, the Japanese government closed all of its nuclear reactors and tried to switch to other forms of electricity generation. The Strait of Hormuz crisis, as well as LNG price volatility, however, recently prompted a reconsideration of the nuclear-divorce policy, with growing pro-nuclear sentiment in Japanese political circles.
  
  The idea to rebuild as many as 11 to 14 nuclear reactors was laid out in a proposal by the country’s trade ministry earlier this month. If all 14 are built, this would add 16 GW to Japan's generation capacity. Currently, Japan generates between 60% and 70% of its electricity from hydrocarbons, including coal, oil, and natural gas, which it imports due to a lack of its own resources. The drawbacks of this dependence have become quite obvious amid the Middle Eastern crisis, highlighting the advantages of nuclear.
  
  China, meanwhile, is fully living up to its reputation as an all-of-the-above energy planner. The country is building solar, wind, coal, and nuclear with equal enthusiasm. Beijing plans to put into operation seven new nuclear reactors this year, boosting its already substantial fleet, which is already the largest in the world. Ground has been broken on two of the seven planned for commissioning before the end of the year.

  Another 16 reactors have been approved for construction, and a total of 36 are under construction, Chinese media reported in April, citing official data. There are 60 already operating nuclear reactors in the country with an installed capacity of 125 million kW, with China overtaking the United States as the biggest nuclear nation in the world, after it built 34 GW over ten years.
  
  The United States, however, is starting to catch up. A nuclear renaissance is among the energy priorities of the Trump administration, and the Department of Energy is taking this priority seriously. There are plans in place to extend the lives of existing reactors and build new ones, including large conventional facilities and small modular reactors, which have made a lot of media noise but little in the way of actual capacity, for now. Last month, the DoE even said it was considering funding research into using Cold War-era nuclear weapon fuel for power generation to reduce dependence on imported uranium, which comes from Russia and Kazakhstan.
  
  Speaking of small modular reactors, despite the absence of any demonstrable success there, hopes are high. “If we can figure out a design that people can be happy with and try and replicate that a series of times, I think that’s going to help on construction,” Constellation Energy executive VP Dan Eggers told the Wall Street Journal. “It’s going to help on operations costs, and that will all lead to hopefully a better cost profile.”
  
  Nuclear does need a better cost profile because its big drawback is upfront costs, if we are talking conventional nuclear. It is the reason why there has been reluctance to build more reactors even in the face of soaring demand from the tech sector. It is also the reason Big Tech is teaming up with power utilities to supply the money for the reactors. SMRs are supposed to be cheaper, but the one attempt, by NuStar, ended up so expensive that it did not make commercial sense.
  
  Even with these upfront costs, however, nuclear is back. It is back because the Middle East crisis has painted a point that China already knows well in stark relief for the rest of the world. All energy matters, and so does diversification. Europe is learning this lesson the hard way, by making all the mistakes that it could make, but even in Europe, the attitude towards nuclear is shifting, with none other than Germany admitting it was a grave mistake to shut down all of its reactors. It is a mistake that has cost the country—and the EU—dearly and one that everyone has learned from and will be able to avoid.

  MABUX: Global bunker market to extend sustainable downward correction on Jun. 15 as U.S. and Iran reach deal to reopen Hormuz.
  The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — reversed into negative territory on Jun. 12, reflecting renewed pressure across all major fuel segments: 380 HSFO: USD/MT: 669.71 (-15.79) VLSFO:... Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO — reversed into negative territory on Jun. 12, reflecting renewed pressure across all major fuel segments:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 669.71 (-15.79)
  VLSFO: USD/MT 820.93 (-21.82)
  MGO: USD/MT 1 203.50 (-42.76)
  
  As of Jun. 12, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which monitors the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP) — indicated the following trends across the four major global bunkering hubs: Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston were undervalued. The degree of underpricing widened further by $21 in Rotterdam and $12 in Singapore, signaling increasing divergence between market prices and the benchmark, while narrowing by $6 in Houston. Fujairah remained the only overvalued port in this segment, with its premium expanding by $13.
  
  • VLSFO segment: The undervaluation trend persisted in Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston. The discount to the digital benchmark increased by $5 in Rotterdam and $16 in Singapore, while decreasing by $4 in Houston. Fujairah continued to stand out as the sole overvalued hub, with its premium surging by an additional $37 and remaining comfortably above the $100 threshold.
  
  • MGO LS segment: Fujairah also remained the only overvalued port in the MGO LS segment, with its premium rising by $16. Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston continued to trade below their digital benchmark levels. The degree of underpricing widened by $19 in Rotterdam and by a substantial $72 in Singapore, while easing by $4 in Houston.
  
  The latest MDI readings suggest that bunker fuel pricing remains uneven across major hubs, with Fujairah maintaining a pronounced premium structure, while Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston continue to trade at discounts relative to their fair market values.
  
  MABUX expects the global bunker market to maintain a firm downward trajectory on Jun. 15 driven by easing geopolitical tensions and a sharp decline in global oil prices following the announcement of a tentative U.S.-Iran deal: minus 5-20 USD/MT, VLSFO: minus 5–20 USD/MT, MGO LS: minus 10–30 USD/MT.
