Aalto University is proud to host the 2nd edition of the International Seminar on Safety and Security of Autonomous Vessels (ISSAV) together with the 7th edition of the European STAMP Workshop and Conference (ESWC). ISSAV promotes all aspects of maritime safety and security in the context of autonomous vessels. The seminar focuses on exchanging knowledge about key safety and security challenges and opportunities in the context of autonomous vessels and the autonomous maritime ecosystem. The ESWC focuses on applications and studies related to the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) which is a relatively new systems-thinking approach to engineering safer systems.
Scope – ISSAV
Autonomous vessels have become a topic of high interest for the maritime transport industry. Recent progress in the development of technologies enabling autonomous systems has fostered the idea that autonomous vessels will soon be a reality. However, before the first autonomous vessel can be released into her actual context of operation, it is necessary to ensure that it is safe and secure. The aim of ISSAV is to promote all aspects of maritime safety and security in the context of autonomous vessels. The seminar focuses on exchanging knowledge about key safety and security challenges and opportunities in the context of autonomous vessels and the autonomous maritime ecosystem. The seminar has a special emphasis on:
- The challenges in managing safety and security in the operation of autonomous vessels and the entire ecosystem of an autonomous maritime system
- Innovative approaches for managing the safety of autonomous vessels, supporting the design, operations and managerial strategies for ensuring the safety in the functioning of the autonomous maritime system.
- Digitalisation as technological enabler for efficient safety and security assurance in the context of autonomous shipping
- Discussion and research on how to standardise safety approaches for autonomous vessels.
- The development of intelligent security strategies for establishing resilient and robust systems for autonomous vessels
- Safety and security integration in the operative context of autonomous maritime systems
- Safety aspects of autonomous shipping in extreme environments
Scope – ESWC
Traditional system safety approaches are being challenged by the introduction of new technology and the increasing complexity of the systems we design, manufacture and operate. STAMP and its associated tools deal with the complexity of systems and provide systematic ways to analyse and assess existing and conceptual systems proactively or detect and illustrate deficiencies revealed through investigations. ESWC brings together researchers and practitioners who apply, or want to get familiar with, STAMP that is widely used in different sectors such as space, aviation, healthcare, defence, nuclear, railways, infrastructure and automotive.
The conference covers the following topics for presentations:
- Experiences using STPA, STPA-Sec, and CAST
- Introducing STAMP, STPA, and CAST into large organizations
- Safety-guided and Security-guided design using STPA and STPA-Sec
- Using STPA to make decisions
- Accident/loss analyses
- Certification and regulatory issues
- Evaluations and comparisons with traditional techniques
- Risk management and identifying leading indicators
- Applications to security and other areas such as workplace safety
- Safety Management System development and evaluation
- Tools, processes, and other support for analysis and design using STPA and CAST
- Management and adoption experiences or challenges
- Applications to other emergent properties (beyond safety and security)

Registration
Venue
Hanaholmen Culture Center and Conference Hotel, Hanasaarenranta 5, 02100 Espoo
Arriving at Hanaholmen
Hanaholmen is served by the metro. The walking distance from the nearest metro station (Koivusaari) to Hanaholmen is approximately 1.1 km.
In addition to the metro, Hanaholmen is served by bus routes 104, 143A, 146A, 147A, 164A/164VA and 192:
- Bus routes 143A, 146A, 147A ja 164A/164VA operate along Länsiväylä (Western Highway), between Kamppi (Helsinki city centre) and western Espoo, with a few minutes' interval during rush hours on weekdays.
- Bus route 192 (V, T and K busses) operates along Länsiväylä between Inkoo and Kamppi, a few times in the morning and afternoon on weekdays.
- Bus route 104 works as a feeder bus between Hanaholmen and the Lauttasaari metro station, with departures a few times per hour on weekdays and less frequently during weekends.
The closest bus stop along Länsiväylä is roughly 400 metres from Hanaholmen.
For more details on public transport, please visit the transportation authority HSL and the HSL Journey Planner.
Ask for Hanaholmen Cultural Centre, Espoo. The taxi journey from the city centre of Helsinki to Hanaholmen will take approximately 10 minutes and costs roughly 20 euro; from the airport it takes approximately 40 minutes and costs roughly 45 euros.
N.B.: There is a power station in eastern Helsinki called Hanaholmen – to avoid confusion, ask the driver to take you to Hanaholmen Cultural Centre in Espoo.
Hanaholmen is right next to the main Länsiväylä road (“Western Highway”, route 51), a little to the west of Koivusaari and to the east of Karhusaari and Tapiola in Espoo. Hanaholmen can be reached by car through a local junction on Länsiväylä, midway between Lauttasaari and the Ring I–Tapiola intersection.
There are bus stops at the junction (the GPS co-ordinates are N60º10.0 E24º50.6). There is also a signpost at the junction indicating “Hanaholmen.“ Hanaholmen is ca. 6 km to the west of Helsinki.
From the west: Approach Helsinki on Länsiväylä (route 51) and follow the signpost at the Hanaholmen junction.
From the north (e.g. from the airport): Approach Helsinki and turn off at Ring I westbound. Follow the ring road to Länsiväylä (route 51) and then drive towards the Helsinki city centre. The signpost for Hanaholmen is about one kilometre after the Ring I–Länsiväylä intersection
