Maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) and smart ships are set to revolutionise maritime transport. These next-generation technologies are not only safer and more efficient, but also produce lower pollutant emissions, garnering enormous research interest worldwide.

The innovation race is on – over 100 countries have sealine borders, and many are actively advancing their technology to ride the wave of autonomous and intelligent vessels. In such a crowded space, it becomes especially crucial to avoid competitive areas that are tightly ring-fenced by players with strong technology accumulation, and instead focus on emerging areas and specific technology niches for higher returns on investment.
