The IMO adopted the MASS Code, a non-mandatory international framework for autonomous and remotely operated cargo ships, effective 1 July 2026. The goal-based Code establishes safety, security and environmental standards equivalent to conventional vessels, requires SOLAS compliance, emphasizes cybersecurity, risk assessment, remote operations centres, and human oversight with the master retaining responsibility. A mandatory version is targeted for adoption by 1 July 2030.
The IMO, UNHCR, and International Chamber of Shipping released a revised Rescue Guide to strengthen humanitarian and legal protections for refugees and migrants in distress at sea. The guide provides practical procedures for safe rescue and disembarkation under international law, emphasizing the duty to rescue without discrimination and protection from refoulement, available in six languages.
