“…On the other, concept designs of largescale, ocean-going Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are being pursued commercial shipping. Apart from differences in operational and design aspects, the latter are still at a prototype phase at best [75], while the former are used extensively by various stakeholders [76]. The earlier focus on AUV and the more recent attention to MASS may in part explain why there has been less focus on human-inthe-loop experiments compared to the road transport domain, and less attention to issues such as trust in autonomy.…”

Highly automated vehicles are making their way towards implementation in many modes of transportation, including shipping. From the safety perspective, it is critically important that such vehicles or the operators overseeing them maintain their sense of the environment, also referred to as situational awareness. The present study investigates the worldwide research effort focusing on situational awareness for autonomous transport and explores how the maritime domain could benefit from it. The results indicate that most of the research originates from the automotive, but the topic is developing fast in other transportation modes too. Some findings have been shared across the modes of transportation, but only to a limited extent. Although technology development is performed based on the achievements within basic research domains, there has been little feedback from applied sciences. Similarly, collaborative research is not strongly developed.

“…Autonomous technology evidently minimises human interaction with a vessel, but malfunctions in technological systems may emerge. Presently, the Mayflower Autonomous Ship is being tested [61], whereas the MV Yara Birkeland, a 120 TEU container ship is currently under operation [62]. The operation of these vessels has shown so far that a machinery failure or faulty software may easily force an autonomous vessel to deviate from its route and collide with another vessel.…”

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the current international maritime legislative framework and assess its relevance in sustaining the operations of unmanned ships while addressing the issue of liability from system malfunctions. The paper initially explores the legal definition of a ship and evaluates whether the existence of an on-board crew is an integral part of the definition. Subsequently, the analysis continues with assessing the legal implications and challenges for the sustainable operation of unmanned ships, such as the governing flag state legislation that defines liability parameters, taking into consideration the existing levels of vessel automation. The paper concludes with an evaluation of the contractual issues and potential stakeholder liability related to governing a flag state. In addition, the potential transfer of liability from the ship operators to manufacturers as pertains to unmanned ship operation is also addressed. The concluding remarks suggest that unmanned ship operation is sustainable under the current international maritime legislative framework; however, the current legislation should be considered as a baseline from which specific legislation for the operation of unmanned ships can be drawn. The methodology utilised for this paper is based on the legal doctrine.

“…Furthermore, the issue of documenting operations on remotely operated vessels is still unexplored [28]. The same author states that the gap between the operator's core tasks and safety management needs to be addressed in future research.…”

Despite all efforts to ensure the safety of ships, available statistics show that the human factor remains the biggest problem in the maritime industry. The desire to improve the safety of ships and the related protection of the environment has been at the heart of the Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) concept, which is supported by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). Although the concept itself seems feasible in principle, there are still a number of open questions from an operational point of view. Furthermore, the economic feasibility of the concept is unknown. This paper ad-dresses questions to which there are currently no answers.
