2018 has seen continued significant developments in the regulatory backdrop for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS).

The Maritime Safety Committee at IMO have now formed the MASS Working and Correspondence Groups who have started their scoping exercise work. Meanwhile, the UK MAS Regulatory Working Group will release Version 2 of the UK Code of Practice in November 2018 which will be available at maritimeuk.org

This conference will give delegates the chance to hear and discuss the key points of interest with regard to the Scoping Exercise and the Code of Practice. There are contributions on the International Perspective and other key areas which will enable informed discussions to take place.

Keynote speakers are Maritime Minister, Nusrat Ghani MP, and Sarah Kenny, Chief Executive at BMT Group.
