The prospect of an autonomous ship crossing the ocean without a crew demands a new layer of thinking about safety. The marine industry has traditionally relied on compliance with government regulation and the rules of “classification societies” to achieve safe integration of structural, mechanical, electrical and other “physical” aspects of their systems.

CSL draws on our insight and experience with the integration of complex systems of systems from other industries such as autonomous cars and driverless trains to provide strategies for managing safety risk associated with Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) and other emergent technology in the marine industry.
