It achieves this through facilitating and developing internationally approved MASS regulations, influencing and collaborating with key regulators, international agencies and industry bodies and ensures that when employed, MASS conform to safe practices and are in themselves intrinsically safe vessels.

It examines areas where the application of this technology can assist in cutting costs and addresses all bodies that manufacture or operate MASS, Marine vessels, and any ROC or AI sub-system.
