IMPA is conducting a study to gain significant insights into the current and potential use of "remote piloting" on conventional ships as well as those that may be remotely operated or navigated by autonomous software in the future.

Today is the beginning of IMPA´s 2020 Safety Campaign survey, and we would like to encourage you all to participate!
