The growing adoption of electric propulsion systems in Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASSs) necessitates advancements in shipboard electronics for safe, efficient, and reliable operation. These advancements are crucial for tasks such as real-time sensor data processing, control algorithms for autonomous navigation, and robust decision-making capabilities. This study investigates research trends in MASSs, using bibliographic analysis to identify policy and future research directions in this evolving field. We analyze 3363 MASS-related articles from the Web of Science database, employing co-occurrence word analysis and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling. The findings reveal a rapidly growing field dominated by image recognition research. Keywords such as “datum”, “image”, and “detection” suggest a focus on collecting and analyzing marine data, particularly with deep learning for synthetic aperture radar imagery. LDA confirms this, with “image analysis and classification research” as the leading topic. The study also identifies national and organizational leaders in MASS research. However, research on Arctic routes lags behind that on other areas. This work provides valuable insights for policymakers and researchers, promoting a deeper understanding of MASSs and informing future policy and research agendas regarding the integration of electric propulsion systems within the maritime industry.

“…In practice, the detection data set can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the intelligent ship network users. In the process of shipping, ships are confronted with security challenges all the time, and all the network supply chain systems on board are confronted with network security risks such as virus intrusion [27,28]. We tested the influence of the real-time detection and protection strategy on virus invasion, and analyzed the performance of the real-time detection and protection strategy under this algorithm.…”

When studying an unfamiliar system, we first look for the symmetry that the system has, so that we can make many predictions about the possible properties of the system. The symmetry in ship network security needs to maintain a stable state and maintain a constant state of ship network security. With the rapid development of network information technology, smart ships have become a new hot spot in the international shipping industry. The smart ships cybersecurity discussion is also at the top of the list in the maritime field. More and more shipping companies feel that their smart ship systems need to be upgraded and the main reason behind this is that the systems are maliciously attacked by cyber hackers. Therefore, it is extremely important to detect and protect the security of intelligent ship network systems in real time. The issue of network security has always accompanied the whole process of the development of the Internet. At the same time, with the development of Internet technology, network hacking attacks against the Internet have never stopped developing, and traditional ship network security risk detection and protection cannot achieve good results. After understanding the operation mode of intelligent ship networks, this paper deeply studied the characteristics of cloud computing technology and proposed a real-time risk detection method and protection strategy for intelligent ship network security based on cloud computing. This paper mainly used multi-sensor nodes to analyze data containing malicious attack information and implemented self-execution protection strategy generation nodes to intercept and protect from the attack, so as to achieve the purpose of maintaining the network security of intelligent ships. Through experiments, the virus intrusion detection and defense rate of the algorithm proposed in this paper was able to reach 85% to 95%, while the virus intrusion detection defense rate of the traditional intelligent ship network security protection algorithm was 55% to 65%. The detection rate of the algorithm proposed in this paper was able to reach 96.95% and the false positive rate was 2.56%. The detection rate of the traditional algorithm was only 70.76%, while the false positive rate reached 4.69%. All of the proposed algorithm’s data were significantly better than that of traditional algorithms, which proved that the performance of cloud computing-based real-time risk detection and protection algorithms for intelligent ship network security was significantly better than that of traditional algorithms.

“…Urciuoli and Hintsa (2020) and Porter and Heppelmann (2015) described AS as being part of a broader digitalization trend, capable of changing the conduct of business. These vessels consist of highly intelligent and adaptive functionalities, equipped with a variety of external sensors and actuators to gain situation awareness, automated control, and adaptive maneuvering for achieving more efficient and sustainable operations (Kim et al, 2022). AS are called next generation modular control systems and communications technologies that will enable wireless monitoring and control functions both on and off the board (MUNIN, n.d).…”

The introduction of autonomous shipping (AS) into the maritime industry is bringing with it a great shift from conventional shipping to a digitalization mode. Expected benefits, which form the bases for conceiving and developing this innovation, include safety, security, and environmental protection. This innovation is not without some risks, such as non-navigation, cyber-piracy, and other issues which are always associated with new technology. This paper presents recent trends in shipping operations from the 18th century onwards, trends in autonomous system services, and the benefits and challenges of autonomous ships. The paper also navigates three (3) key potential challenges to Africa’s adoption of autonomous shipping in the event of its adoption for commercial shipping. These challenges are Africa’s trade level and trade facilitation, the state of infrastructural development, and piracy and maritime cyber-crimes in Africa. It is suggested that stakeholders in Africa’s maritime industry and government should fashion holistic strategies for trade facilitation, rapid development of key trade infrastructures through investment, and intergovernmental capacities towards curbing piracy activities in the region’s maritime routes. Highlights The study explores the trend of technological innovation in the maritime and shipping industry Benefits and challenges of Autonomous shipping as the current innovation are explored Challenges of adopting this innovation by the African countries and ports are carefully explained Suggestions are made on what to be done by Africa to move in the direction of the world especially with port development and international trade participation
