Session: | PANEL 2 Charting the Future: Navigating Uncrewed Maritime Systems Through Regulatory Waters |
Day: | Tuesday, September 26 |
Time: | 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM |
Room: | B2-B3 |
PANEL DESCRIPTION |
|
The Uncrewed Maritime Systems (UMS) Committee at OCEANS 2023 Gulf Coast acknowledges the rapid advancement and operational use of uncrewed maritime systems, which have significantly expanded the U.S. maritime sector beyond its traditional boundaries. As these uncrewed maritime systems find new applications, the market experiences substantial growth. However, this expansion has also created a regulatory gap in admiralty law, affecting government entities, law enforcement, classification societies, and insurance carriers worldwide. The UMS Committee brings together industry leaders and accomplished maritime experts to harness their collective power in improving and defending the blue economy, protecting the environment, and enhancing national security.
