MASS Rotterdam

19 June 2025/in RMSC Activity

Date/Time: June 19 - June 20 | All Day


The legal future of autonomous vessels – Erasmus School of Law

The MASS Rotterdam Conference will delve into these legal questions.  What is the impact of the recent European AI Act on the development of autonomous vessels? What is the purpose and scope of the MASS Code that IMO is developing?  What consequences may autonomous vessels have for the charterparties and contracts of carriage in use today?  How will the pilotage of autonomous vessels work, and what implications might there be for the investigation of maritime casualties involving MASS?  A proper legal analysis of these and other questions requires an understanding of the technical realities.

The MASS Rotterdam Conference will therefore also introduce an insight in the technology used in autonomous ships. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will obviously play a role, but which type of AI, with which characteristics?  What is the situation in the field of automated collision avoidance and COLREGS compliance?

Finally, the MASS Rotterdam Conference will be looking at the perspective of other interested parties.  How do the shipyards that will be designing and building autonomous ships approach possible risks and liabilities?  What does it take to convince regulators that the technology is mature enough to allow it to be used in day-to-day practice?

They are pleased to invite you to special presentations by, among others, Prof. Dr. Mihael Miso Mudric, Dr. Frank Stevens and Capt. Jeroen Weyn. In these presentations a large range of topics such as the EU AI Act and its implications for shipping and digital navigation will be covered.
