Cosa distingue davvero una nave autonoma (MASS) da una nave altamente automatizzata? Partendo dalle definizioni del nuovo Codice IMO, questo articolo chiarisce i concetti di Operational Envelope, degraded state, e i rischi degli “unknown unknowns”. Scoprirai perché l’autonomia non elimina l’umano, ma lo sposta, richiedendo competenze digitali, critiche e marittime completamente nuove.

Summary of the Presentation: “The Path to Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) Adoption”
Lloyd’s Register’s Chief Growth Officer, Andy McKeran, opened the 2nd day of the 11th Maritime Autonomous Systems Regulatory Working Group
Autonomous and remotely operated ships challenge traditional maritime safety frameworks by removing the crew from the ship and transferring safety responsibilities to systems, software, and shore-based operators. To obtain regulatory approval under IMO MSC.1/Circ.1455, autonomous vessels must demonstrate a level of safety equivalent to that of conventional ships.
This article provides an accessible explanation of an integrated safety assurance methodology based on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA), conventional risk analysis, and simulation-based verification. Using a real autonomous ship development project as reference, it illustrates how safety goals can be systematically decomposed, verified, and traced throughout the system lifecycle, offering a practical framework for safety equivalence demonstration in Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS).
