The International Network for Autonomous Ships (INAS) is an informal group of national or regional interest organisations on the subject of unmanned, autonomous or smart ships. INAS does not have personal members and all direct communication with persons will be through the member organisations' mailing lists.

The INAS secretariat will be happy to put you in touch with other persons in your region.
There is no membership fee and no membership obligations. Any member can join or withdraw at any time. The secretariat is operated on a voluntary basis and as a service to the community.
INAS will only act as a repository for information of common interest and as a central node for distribution of information between member organisations.
It was decided to establish the network at a meeting at Oslo Airport on October 30th 2017. A number of national representatives attendants as well as some correspondents were the founders. Various presentations from that event is also available through the Events tag.
