The development of new maritime safety regulations
\nThe development of new maritime safety regulations is a critical endeavor in ensuring the safety and security of vessels at sea. As technology advances, so too must our regulatory frameworks adapt to address emerging challenges. In this article, we delve into the complexities of regulating maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) and their navigational systems.<\/p>\n
## **Navigational Safety Regulation for MASS**<\/p>\n
While work on MASS regulation has commenced, the regulation of autonomous navigational systems\u2014the primary future driver of ship safety performance\u2014remains largely unexplored. As we transition from human-dominated navigation to autonomous navigation subsystems (ANS), we must carefully consider how to ensure safe operation.<\/p>\n
### **Understanding MASS as Technological Artifacts**<\/p>\n
MASS are complex cyber-physical data processing assemblages. They consist of hardware, traditional software, and machine learning software components. These technological artifacts are poised to replace a ship’s master and crew, making them the primary determinants of navigational safety.<\/p>\n
### **Converging Regulatory Frameworks**<\/p>\n
Future regulatory frameworks for MASS navigational safety are likely to converge a layered design. This design will incorporate performance standards verified through simulation-based testing. The comprehensive simulation-based tests will allow regulators to explore navigational edge cases in sufficient detail. However, these simulations must be buttressed by real-world testing in trial areas and actual traffic scenarios.<\/p>\n
