The vision of the MASS think tank is to increase automation on board of ships with full autonomy as ultimate goal by bringing different stakeholders such as shipowners, technology providers, the research communities, classification societies together, mapping their individual needs and identifying different gaps (knowledge/regulatory/…).
The mission of the think tank is bringing the different stakeholders together with the intention to (1) connect people and (2) exchange knowledge (3) on a regular basis.
In order to optimise the exchange of knowledge it is important that the members of the think tank (1) get to know each other, (2) get to know the projects that others are working on and (3) get to know other ongoing projects of non-members. It is desired that the members actively participate in the sessions and help with references to other projects where possible. And last but not least, the MASS-think tank is a-political, commercial independent and most importantly evidence-led.
