Our autonomy experts were delighted to take part in the recent two-day technical conference, INEC/ISCCS, which explored the digital and green transitions in our society. These challenges increasingly lead to complex ship power systems and bring with it opportunities to develop crew skills through new technologies.
We delivered industry-leading talks on a range of topics, from Maritime Autonomy to Safety Assurance of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships. These presentations are now available to download as papers:
Safety Assurance of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships
Overview: This paper examines the predominant challenges and presents potential solutions.
Author: Matt Wylie and Eshan Rajabally
Safety Assurance of Autonomous Surface Vessels
Overview: The authors present a summary status of safety assurance in the context of maritime autonomy.
Author: Matt Wylie, Eshan Rajabally and E Turkbeyler,
Maritime Autonomy and Safety at Sea
Overview: This paper outlines how Functional safety helps mitigate risk by ensuring systems are designed, monitored, and maintained to prevent hazardous failures.

The next 10 years in the UK will see another considerable increase in the number of Programmes delivering complex nuclear facilities. New nuclear facilities are increasingly complex due to the convergence of digital and physical systems with Operational Technology (OT) now deeply integrated with IT; increasingly integrated systems of systems architectures and the adoption of big data analytics including AI.

In today’s Defence environments, precision, speed, and certainty are no longer optional, they are necessities. Whether you are managing complex refits, integrating new systems, or maintaining configuration accuracy across platforms, the quality of the data you start with determines the success of your entire project.

As shipping transitions to low‑carbon fuels, safety has become the defining challenge. This interview by RINA's The Naval Architect, explores how alternative fuels such as methanol, ammonia, hydrogen and LNG introduce new risks, and how smart vessel design, layered protection and crew competence are essential to delivering decarbonisation without compromising safety.

In a world where complexity is the norm and certainty is rare, adaptability isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And when we combine it with empathy, structure, and a commitment to quality, we create programmes that deliver real, lasting value.
