Live - In-Person Event
About

In partnership with Seawork, Maritime Journal and The Workboat Association, we present Session 1 of Series 6 - Autonomous and Remote-Operated Vessels: Operational Scaling and Regulatory Alignment. It will take place at The Workboat Association AGM in November.   

The topical and informative “in-person” session will explore the following: 

•    Examine the classification of maritime autonomy — remote-operated, semi-autonomous, and fully autonomous — and how emerging IMO frameworks are shaping their deployment.
•    Assess the operational and workforce implications of autonomy, including task automation, system supervision, and the integration of advanced control software.
•    Analyse the drivers behind the transition to autonomous and remote-operated workboats and explore strategies for scalable implementation across fleet operations.

The session will take place on the afternoon of Monday 18 November, at the Workboat Association AGM, Oulton Hall, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. 


Get Set for Workboat 2050 Series 6, session 1 is free-to-attend, but delegates should note that other events at Oulton Hall are for The Workboat Association members only.
