Risk Evaluation of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship Operations: A Formal Safety Assessment Approach (opens in a new tab)

This paper introduces a Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) framework to evaluate risks in Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) operations, addressing gaps in traditional methods that rely on crewed-ship data. It establishes a hierarchical risk indicator system across five dimensions—ship machinery, human factors, environment, information technology, and management—using frequency and severity indices to classify risks. A case study with 50 experts found MASS operations fall within the "ALARP" (tolerable) risk region, with environmental, IT, and machinery factors posing the highest risks. Key contributors to overall risk include environmental perception, navigation decision-making, and communication capability.

The first autonomous ships that matter to Britain may never cross an ocean (opens in a new tab)

Britain should prioritize autonomous technology investments in harbor operations over ocean crossings, focusing on defined transport tasks like container transfers between terminals. Singapore’s autonomous feeder vessel program serves as a model, emphasizing reliability, safety, and integration with existing workflows rather than immediate cost savings. British suppliers could contribute by addressing specific challenges such as degraded visibility, cybersecurity, or terminal integration, but must clarify responsibilities and boundaries in contracts. Regulatory approval in the UK depends on vessel size, operating area, and use, requiring early engagement with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to establish a clear pathway.
