Join IMCA, the International Marine Contractors Association, at Seawork 2026 toexplore the rapid evolution of autonomy across offshore and renewable operations.
Focusing on how emerging technologies are reshaping established definitions, standards, and practices, the session examines the ongoing debate around what constitutes a DP vessel in an increasingly autonomous environment, including the classification of USVs and remotely operated platforms.
The session will also compare differing frameworks for automation—highlighting key distinctions between DMR approaches and IMO definitions—and consider how these influence safety, assurance, and regulatory alignment as autonomy continues to advance across the sector.
Hear from Roger Moore - Technical Adviser IMCA – Remote Systems & ROV, Offshore Survey and Competence and Training and Peter Solvang - Managing Director - DP & Marine Assurance Norway AS
Moderated by Rhys Jones - Head of Competence and Training at IMCA, the conference takes place on Wednesday, Jun 10, 2026 from 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM at Seawork 2026
