News: Maritime UK launches Version 6 of Industry Code of Practice for Maritime Autonomous Ship Systems
Maritime UK is today (18 November) launching Version 6 of the Industry Code of Practice for Maritime Autonomous Ship Systems.
The accelerating pace of change in maritime autonomy has required updated guidance for those owning and operating Maritime Autonomous Ship Systems (MASS).
Whilst not a legal text, the Code has been used by manufacturers, service providers, and others as part of their day-to-day work. Many manufacturers have reported clients requiring compliance with the Code as a basis for contractual negotiations.
Version 6 adds updated guidance on a variety of topics including MoD Maritime Levels of Automation, MASS Shoreside Interface guidance and Remote Control Centre manning and operation.
The Maritime UK Autonomous Systems Regulatory Working Group (MASRWG) published the first Code of Practice to global industry-wide acclaim in November 2017, followed by annual updates since then.
Lloyd’s Register has supported the publication of this version of the Code.
Blog: What does the Autumn Statement mean for maritime?

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt set out the Autumn Statement 2022 against a challenging financial backdrop, with the cost-of-living crisis affecting a growing number of households and businesses across the country.
