The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) on 6 December 2023 published the CMOROC Final Report - Identification of Competences for MASS Operators in Remote Operations Centres.
Based on the technological progress in recent years (especially in the field of automation, sensor technology, digitalisation, data communication and decision-making algorithms), the introduction of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) is becoming increasingly realistic.
But even if an increasing number of functions are taken over or supported by automation, the human operator retains an important role.
Such a change in the function of the operators means that the MASS operators will need to acquire different competences and will have to be trained in line with the requirements of the upcoming tasks.
The primary focus of the study lies in investigating tasks, functions and required competences of future MASS Operators.
This publication comprise 1 report and 7 appendixes.
