As the marine industry increasingly considers applications for autonomous technologies, regulatory bodies must adapt and assess these technologies to promote safe use.

On this episode of Setting Course, Joseph Gardemal, ABS Regulatory Affairs Manager, joins host John Snyder, Managing Editor of Riviera Maritime Media, to discuss the development of a regulatory framework for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS).

Gardemal discusses the drivers behind autonomous regulations, the degrees of autonomy and what the evolving regulations are aiming to achieve.
