摘要

本研究对小型模块化反应堆（SMR）技术驱动的15000 TEU集装箱船进行了全面的经济和技术可行性分析。该分析评估了多种情况下的资本支出（CAPEX）和运营支出（OPEX），重点关注反应堆制造成本、核燃料价格和碳税率等关键因素。该研究还探讨了租赁与购买SMR机组的财务影响，提供了长期盈利能力、现金流稳定性和风险管理的比较。结果表明，尽管初始资本支出较高，但核动力船舶具有显著的长期成本优势，特别是在节省燃料和减少碳税方面。租赁SMR是一个很有吸引力的选择，减少了前期投资，提供了财务灵活性，但代价是长期净现值（NPV）略低。这一分析证明了核动力推进在商业航运中的潜在好处。

A conceptual study of 15,000 TEU SMR-powered containerships

This study presents a comprehensive economic and technical feasibility analysis of a 15,000 TEU containership powered by small modular reactor (SMR) technology. The analysis evaluates capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX) across multiple scenarios, focusing on key factors such as reactor manufacturing costs, nuclear fuel prices, and carbon tax rates. The study also explores the financial implications of leasing versus purchasing the SMR unit, providing a comparison of long-term profitability, cash flow stability, and risk management. Results show that nuclear-powered vessels offer significant long-term cost advantages, particularly in fuel savings and carbon tax reductions, despite their higher initial CAPEX. Leasing the SMR presents an attractive alternative by reducing upfront investment and offering financial flexibility, though at the expense of slightly lower long-term net present value (NPV). This analysis demonstrates the potential benefits of nuclear propulsion in commercial shipping.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering provides a forum for engineers and scientists from a wide range of disciplines to present and discuss various phenomena in the utilization and preservation of ocean environment. Without being limited by the traditional categorization, it is encouraged to present advanced technology development and scientific research, as long as they are aimed for more and better human engagement with ocean environment. Topics include, but not limited to: marine hydrodynamics; structural mechanics; marine propulsion system; design methodology & practice; production technology; system dynamics & control; marine equipment technology; materials science; underwater acoustics; ocean remote sensing; and information technology related to ship and marine systems; ocean energy systems; marine environmental engineering; maritime safety engineering; polar & arctic engineering; coastal & port engineering; subsea engineering; and specialized watercraft engineering.
