Operations of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships

Times cited (SCOPUS): 13
ABSTRACT: Advancing technologies create unique opportunities for constructing autonomous ships, which, in turn, raise growing interest of the maritime industry, shipowners in particular. These authors have analyzed actions taken in this field and some aspects related to the operations of maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS). The presented case study refers to a ship with a skeleton crew on a deep sea voyage, where the ship’s autonomy is narrowed to the fourth stage of transport task – sea voyage and its navigational aspect.
KEYWORDS: Situational Awareness at Sea, Sea Traffic Management (STM), Autonomous Ship, Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), Advanced Autonomous Waterborne Application (AAWA), MASS Technology, MASS Autonomy, MASS Safety
