Many countries have rules which forbid privately operated ships powered by fission-reactors docking/anchoring. The German-built Otto Hahn wasn't allowed passage through Suez and Panama Channel, the US-built NS-Savannah was excluded from ports in Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

Though that was long ago, I'm unaware of changes regarding that.

So no cruising to your bunker in NZ on your supernukular toy when the SHTF :-)
