Research Developments and Debates Regarding Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship: Status, Challenges and Perspectives

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: WMU Studies in Maritime Affairs ((WMUSTUD,volume 10))

Abstract

Recent developments in automation and telecommunication technologies have given rise to the prospect of autonomous ships, and inspired an exponential increase in research and regulatory discussions related to Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) development and operation in the maritime industry. Propelled by several large MASS projects and trials in recent years, the area is evolving rapidly from a distant dream to a near reality by virtue of substantial interests and R&D investments. New vessel operational concepts based on remote-control and autonomous vessel functions are projected to increase efficiency and reliability, reduce operating expenditures (OPEX) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while having great potentials to contribute towards a range of safety and economic benefits to the ship-owners and the maritime industry in general. This paper provides a review of contemporary research studies relating to autonomous ship operations with the aim to contribute to current discussions in relation to two aspects: (a) it synthesizes the current research discussions and debates regarding MASS, and (b) it explores the possible barriers and hurdles associated with MASS operation. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research directions.
