Maritime UK has introduced Version 6 of the Industry Code of Practice for Maritime Autonomous Ship Systems (MASS). Whilst not a legal text, the code has been used by manufacturers, service providers, and others as part of their day-to-day work. A number of manufacturers have reported clients requiring compliance with the code as a basis for contractual negotiations. Version 6 adds updated guidance on a variety of topics including MoD maritime levels of automation, MASS shoreside interface guidance and remote control centre manning and operation. The Maritime UK Autonomous Systems Regulatory Working Group (MASRWG) published the first Code of Practice in November 2017 and has provided annual updates since then. Lloyd's Register has supported the publication of this version of the code.
