The maritime transportation of spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive wastes requires the use of purpose-built vessels which meet the International Maritime Organization's INF classification standards. These standards were introduced in 1993 and made mandatory in 2001.[1] As of 2020, the list below is limited to active vessels and may not be exhaustive.
