The workshop sets the foundation of mutual understanding on the needs of assurance models, technical standards, test capabilities and their regulatory acceptance for MAS to enable their international adoption.

A future research programme will be built upon the workshop outcomes to develop assurance frameworks and test capabilities for maritime autonomous technologies and vessels.
