5th International Ship Autonomy and Sustainability Summit

The Summit will shed new light on autonomy in shipping, and address what is really meant by MASS (Maritime Autonomous Ships and Shipping). 

What kind of autonomy is in demand? And to what extent? The high-level speakers will demystify MASS and the future of seafaring, with a focus on the ‘human in the loop’, connectivity and the practical application of MASS. The technology will likely mean different tasks for seafarers, impacting the profession, training and responsibilities. The human-technology interface will also be important when looking at how MASS can be integrated with ports and the hinterland in intelligent maritime transport systems.

Held for the first time in Germany, the event is co-organised by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Mobility and Transport, and will be particularly relevant for maritime and inland shipping stakeholders. Registration will open soon.
