Is it legal?
Short answer: No
IMO Conventions: STCW, SOLAS, COLREGS, MARPOL, …
– Written for manned operation
– References to operator/captain/officer
– Topic on the agenda at IMO (MSC98/20/2 and MSC98/20/13)
– Process will take time
Flag-states can, however:
– Provide exemptions within national waters
– Make bi-lateral agreements with other states

MSC.1/Circ. 1455, IMO’s guidelines for approval of alternative and/or equivalent design.
A risk based approach providing a
framework for approval of alternative
and / or equivalent design.
Typically applied in cases of novel
technology where maritime rules and
regulations are not yet in place
Objecitcive is to document an
‘equivalent safety level’ compared to
that of shipping today.
Typical risk methodoligies applied for
safety assessment are HAZID, HAZOP,
FMECA, QRA
Early involvement of Flag, Class and
other stakeholders is essential for
obtaining approval in line with the
ambitions of the project time schedule

The safety, reliability and dependability of the system shall be equivalent to that achieved with new and comparable conventional system
