      abstract = {This book examines law and governance implications in  relation to maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS).  Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, it focuses on a  wide array of timely, topical and thorny issues, including  naval warfare and security, seaworthiness and  techno-regulatory assessments, global environmental change,  autonomous passenger transportation, as well as liability  and insurance. It also considers selected national and  regional developments. The book provides an insight into  the role of innovation-diplomacy as the driving force that  could expedite the transition from automation to autonomy.  After navigating through the complex law and governance  landscape, it concludes by assessing critical findings for  further consideration. The book will appeal to scholars and  students of maritime technology, law and governance.
