On Day 1, 10 May, Nigel Doyle poses the question in the morning’s session: ‘Nuclear propulsion is a game changer. What are the new rules?’ where he will look at nuclear safety culture and its role in the nuclear submarine programme. In the afternoon session of Day 1, Mick Warren looks at ‘Maritime cyber safety – results of real-world application on ship systems’. Day 2, 11 May, will see Robert Dickie sharing insights into marine autonomy, as he discusses ‘An enabling framework to support COLREGS compliance for autonomous and remotely operated vessels’.

Business Manager for maritime programs within Frazer-Nash's Australian business, John Viskic, said:
