Maritime autonomous surface ship (MASS) has been developed rapidly. MASS could be disruptive technology that will bring about a paradigm shift in related industries as well as the maritime transport system. Due to huge implications and uncertainties, it is required to understand complex socio-economic behaviour induced by MASS for the international society. This paper presents the key findings and some recommendations from technology assessment on MASS which investigated the potential effects from MASS in terms of economic, social, cultural and ethical aspects. The results can be used to design a future driven by MASS in a desirable direction.
