Maritime

This section pulls together all the research taking place in the maritime domain. It also highlights cross-domain work which will be of use to those working in the sector.

Where possible, a lot of the guidance we publish is intentionally developed to be suitable for use in any domain. You will therefore find key pieces of research below that are suitable for those working in any sector.

Body of Knowledge guidance

You can access entries in the Body of Knowledge related to the safety assurance of autonomous maritime systems below, along with useful guidance suitable for all domains. The guidance in the Body of Knowledge is often generalised, enabling you to learn from research undertaken in other domains. You can also access all Body of Knowledge Guidance.
